Graphic Design Thesis is a student-driven course of study that demands rigor in both design process and academic scholarship.

After enrollment in 4C04, students engage in a semester of independent research that integrates qualitative and quantitative methods, theoretical inquiry and formal practice.
Anti-requisite: GRPH 4K01 Graphic Design Thesis Project 1
