I attended there for my undergraduate as well also majoring in Graphic Design. I have met with faculty members discussing requirements about graduate school, they have emphasized that the personal statement is the most important piece in the application process. From what faculty has told me, the graduate program is independent where one chooses a research topic that relates to in my case, graphic design. Towards the end of the program an exhibit is created that shows what you have researched, showing examples using design skills. For example one student had an exhibition about the history of the chocolate chip cookie and created an infographic series. &nbsp;<br \/> <br \/> Although I haven't settled on a particular research topic, I have some interests in mind.&nbsp;<br \/> <br \/> 1. How can graphic design be improved for those with disabilities?<br \/> 2. How technology effects design throughout the world, countries that may be less or more advanced in technology.<br \/> 3. The history of pharmacuetical design and how it affects life today&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/><br \/>Thank you for your help.<br \/><br \/>http:\/\/art.sdsu.edu\/graduate-admissions-overview\/","price_select":"1","temp_doc_name":"upload_564170f488b036.19688929.docx","word_count":"313","subtotal":8.45,"total_amt":8.45,"firstName":"Jen","lastName":"U","lastfour":"7153","exp":"0616","address":"4344 Cleveland Ave Apt 2","city":"San Diego","zip":"92103","state":"CA","country":"United States","transactionReference":"7695247148"}
