The graphic design program at MC is unlike any other because it is so personal. Mr. Hataway, the upper level graphic design professor, is an amazing educator with a genuine desire to see you progress not just as a student, but also as a person. The course material challenged me to be creative and taught me how to solve various design problems that are seen in the working world each day. The MC Art Department provides a quality education, but more than that a caring family of professors and friends.
