At Champlain, there's no waiting to jump into your design courses. You'll take classes such as Form & Color and The Digital Image in your first year, and you'll continue to develop your design skills as you progress through the curriculum.

This gives you the tremendous advantage of gaining hands-on experience in your major from the start, which will leave you well-prepared for employment upon graduation.

Champlain's study abroad program is built right into the major, so you can spend a semester abroad at Champlain's international campuses in Dublin and Montreal—or anywhere else in the world—during your junior year. You'll work with your faculty advisor to ensure your credits fulfill the requirements for your major.
