The B.S. degree in Graphic Communications at Pittsburg State University in Kansas  https://www.pittstate.edu/twl/programs/graphic-communications/index.html) has been awarded accreditation by the Accrediting Council for Collegiate Graphic Communications (http://www.ACCGC.org). This dynamic and progressive degree program is one of just 18 bachelor’s degree programs in the United States (and the only program in its four-state region) that provides students with hands-on instruction in print production and management, including emphasis areas in Graphic Design, Photography and Videography, Print Media and Packaging Design, and UX/UI and Web Design.

A visiting team of expert peers verified that the program met the rigorous ACCGC standards required for high quality collegiate programs. This includes strong leadership, an active industry advisory board, a system of quality improvement through measurement of benchmarks, an up-to-date curriculum, and outstanding teaching in the classroom.

Dan Wilson, Managing Director for ACCGC noted, “ACCGC accreditation provides transparency into the inner workings of graphic communications degree programs . . . websites or reputation can make any program look good, but accreditation assures everyone that the program meets the highest standards.”
