The Master of Arts program in Graphic Design offered by the New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University is intended as a one-year (three semester), full-time, practice-oriented, initial graduate program, consisting of a minimum of 30 credits of graduate study (level 700 or higher). The program is designed for those who have earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. The program also welcomes those who have earned an undergraduate degree in a field not related to the visual arts or who have earned an undergraduate degree in an area of the visual arts other than graphic design.

If you have not completed an undergraduate program of study substantially equivalent to the BFA in Graphic Design, you will be required to complete additional foundational (undergraduate equivalent) coursework, as determined by the graphic design graduate program coordinator. Course of study for those who do not possess a BFA in Graphic Design will vary significantly from that outlined here and will be determined on an individual basis.
