What Will You Study in Our Graphic Design Classes Online?
In this program, you’ll take foundational courses in English, math, science, and Christian thought to ensure you receive a well-rounded education. As you move into the core part of your major, you will begin by taking typography and vector design courses where you can learn about the building blocks of graphic design, techniques for creating and implementing fonts, and the basics of vector imaging.
Additionally, you will take courses in marketing, digital drafting, and several other essential areas that are part of the graphic design major. You will study industry best practices, photography, and 2D and 3D design so that you can walk away as a well-rounded creator who is equipped to handle a wide range of graphic design needs.
What separates Liberty from many graphic design schools online is the fact that our curriculum is taught from a Christian worldview. As you take graphic design courses, you can learn how you as a creator can impact the world for Christ – all while preparing to take the next step in your career.

The official high school transcript, GED requirement, and High School Self-Certification Form can be waived if the applicant has earned an associate degree or higher.
Final transcripts must reflect all coursework and final grades received for grades 9-12, a graduation date, and an overall GPA. (Mailed transcripts must be in a sealed and unopened envelope.)
Unofficial College Transcript Policy
Unofficial transcripts combined with a Transcript Request Form can be used for admission. Official transcripts are required within 60 days of the admissions decision or before non-attendance drops for the first set of matriculated classes, whichever comes first, and will prevent enrollment into future terms until all official transcripts have been received.

If the student uses unofficial transcripts with a Transcript Request Form to gain acceptance, all official transcripts must be received within 60 days of the admissions decision or before non-attendance drops for the first set of matriculated classes, whichever comes first.
