The Computer Graphics Art (soon to become visual communication and digital media arts - VCDMA) concentration is one that enables and empowers students for a career in visual communications and media arts. Students who follow this concentration are introduced to opportunities in graphic design, digital art and imaging, and multimedia. By building upon foundation courses, students merge skills in art, technology, and communication.

This program leads to the Bachelor's of Arts degree in fine arts with a concentration in computer graphics art. Additionally, students from other departments may seek to minor in computer graphics art (VCDMA) and should develop a track scheme with faculty in computer graphics art (VCDMA). The minimum number of semester hours required for the bachelor's degree is 120. Students who choose to concentrate in a particular area must consult with a fine and performing arts faculty advisor.

"I prefer to do layout design, graphic design, and photography. I usually start right into whatever I am doing, and change it along the way.  Even then, I still catch myself changing little aspects of each of my pieces."

RUSSELL SITKA, Computer Graphics (VCDMA) Graduate, 06'

"The VCDMA program at Bowie State gave me a chance to explore a broad range of creative expression while guiding me toward a career focus in computer graphic design. Through a combination of traditional fine arts and modern design courses, my instructors helped expose me to a variety of styles and techniques within the graphic arts as well as encouraging me to push my limits and adopt a career-minded attitude.
