Tips & Resources

Graphic Design is a portfolio-restrictive track. The program is competitive and acceptance is based on the quality of the work submitted. Accepted students are required to follow a two-year cohort program as outlined in the UCF Undergraduate Catalog. Students should submit a portfolio and application when all prerequisite coursework has been completed or currently enrolled in.
