Students who seek to pursue a career in graphic design, advertising, comic book art, or related fields may take courses in illustration to gain a fundamental understanding of form, composition, color theory, and other design principles.

Courses are offered in many ways that help meet the needs of a varied student population. From standard in-classroom study to summer classes and even online offerings, the opportunities to pursue higher education have never been easier.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
