Part creative mind, part problem solver, you are a budding visual designer—and MacEwan University's Bachelor of Design wants to see you flourish.
In our four-year degree, you will be introduced to new ways of seeing and thinking about design. You will learn how to creatively transform a message, to craft a visual statement that persuades, informs, motivates or entertains.
