home > EDUCATION > CALIFORNIA GRAPHIC DESIGN SCHOOLS
California is a magnet for creative minds and has a well-deserved reputation for the excellence of its many art and design schools. Many design departments offer classes needed for a BA in design or media arts, with the option to continue courses to earn either an MA or an MFA. Once you have completed design career training in California, the opportunities seem endless. The California Labor Market reports that work in the graphic design, fashion and interior design, film, video, and architectural programs are just a handful of jobs in the design industry that will continue to increase over the next ten years. From costume and set design in Hollywood to curatorship positions at world-famous museums like the de Young and the Getty, there are jobs aplenty in California's art and design industries.
