Our competitive program in southeastern Ohio draws talented students from around the globe to elevate their visual communication talents to the highest level. We’re all about storytelling in the most compelling way, whether it be through information design, photojournalism, or commercial photography.

Students create infographics, maps, illustrations and layouts for feature and news presentations.
Commercial photography students create images that showcase fashion, still life, portraiture and architecture.
Students integrate audio, video, still images and illustrations for the web and mobile devices.
