“Having successfully completed ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø’s print degree program, I can say with a doubt, it was the best educational experience I have ever had. ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø has one the most top notch curriculums in graphic design in Massachusetts, and the benefit of lower tuition costs compared to programs in the state.”

“After graduating from ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø with my Associates Degree, I was extremely confident in my knowledge and skill set, and I would have been ready to enter the work-field had I not chosen to pursue my bachelor’s degree. At my 4-year university, I was often complimented by my professors and fellow graphics students on how well I was able to navigate the software and develop successful designs. Because of ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø’s well-balanced curriculum – requiring both print and web focused courses – I was able to make the transition from print to web very effectively.”

“Daily, I am critiquing the work of other young designers, building complex yet efficient workflows and layouts in Photoshop, and striving to better understand the medium. I bring my experiences at the Mount to all of these tasks and succeed because the curriculum and instructors truly prepared me to. I can’t imagine where I’d be without the in-depth software training, exciting and challenging assignments, and team-wide critiques the faculty at Mount Wachusett have built the core of their program around. It has made all the difference.”

“My overall experience at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø was… inspirational. Before attending the Mount, I was terrified about going to college; I didn’t think that I was smart enough to go. With this said, Mount Wachusett Community College inspired me to become a student, a professional and more importantly a graphic artist. Because of my amazing education at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø, I was confident enough to go to Fitchburg State University and earn my bachelors of Communications degree. So thanks ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø, thank you for inspiring me to push myself for success and teaching me that anything is attainable.”

I had a great time in the Graphic & Interactive Design program. I learned an enormous amount of technical skills and design know-how that I use every day. The professors were kind, patient and helped me succeed in every class.
After finishing with the GID program at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø, I found a full-time job as a web developer/designer in the Gardner area. I wouldn’t be where I am right now if it wasn’t for the GID program at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø!

“ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø was an integral part of my career training. Most of the skills I use in my job every day I learned in the Computer Graphic Design program. From technical training to concept development, I feel I’m a well-rounded designer. I transferred to UMass Lowell and when I entered the Graphic Design program there I actually felt I was slightly ahead of the other students in what projects I’d worked on and what I’d learned.
Currently, I work for Communispace – a consumer collaboration agency in Boston. Our clients are some of the biggest brands in the world and it’s exciting to be challenged creatively every day. I’m currently mentoring and training 2 young designers in our group which feels great.”
