It depends on what state you are planning on pursuing the degree.  In FL an AA degree is a very basic degree which consists of English, Social Sciences, Humanities, Physical and Lab sciences, Math, computer, and elective classes totaling 60 credit hours which usually takes two years to complete.  The electives are tailored to what you want to pursue, for graphic arts you would need four or five art related classes.  A good website for FL is www.facts.org and you can view the common course prerequisites for any major in the state in additon to the basic requirements.  Hope this helped.

i know two people in this field and neither has a graduate degree. one majored in communications undergrad and the other marketing. creativity, energy, ability to work well under pressure and good communication skills are what is needed most. talk to a few folks who are doing the job to find out more. linkedin or the ama are options. good luck.

Usually Associates degrees and Bachelors degrees are completed at different types of institutions.  There are a few exceptions but usually Associates degrees are completed at 2 year colleges such as Community Colleges and Bachelor's are completed at 4 year colleges (FIT in NYC does both in the field of fashion).  You might want to do the Associates first and then transfer to a 4 year college for the Bachelors.  Where you will look might depend on where you currently live and how willing or able you are to travel.  \n\nIf you are interested in New England you might want to look at Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island http://www.jwu.edu/, they offer culinary arts and a number of other interesting programs.  They also are one of the few universities that offer associates and bachelor's (also masters) degrees.  They have other campuses in FL and CO etc\n\nGood luck

Actually you must have at least a master's degree and be working in the industry you are going to teach.  Or at least be able to reasonably associate it to your industry.

You need to have a degree in Elementary Education (Early Childhood Education). 4 years of college to get a bachelors degree. If you want to get an associates degree, it's a 2 year course, but you can only help the teacher. The advantages are plentiful. If you love working with children, this would be ideal for you, but the income isn't as great as if you were to study Nursing or some other highly paid profession.

There are a number of possible choices.  Some require an advanced degree and some only need experience or guts.\n\nTeaching at a local 2-year college (either regular curriculum or adult ed) usually open doors.\n\nMake a deal with a ghost writer and do book on Interior Design.  Another possibility is to open a web site for similar purposes.  This is a good way to catch work over a very wide area.\n\nVisit all of your local home furnishing retailer (not furniture stores, but those whose do design and sell the nic-nacs as well).  Check out the possibility of working either with or through one of them.  A box of business cards would help here.\n\nUpscale paint retail outlets might be another place to check.  Here the idea may be to learn where then get their wholesale supplies to backtrack to the manufacturer.\n\nVisit the on-line employment sites or do a search for “color experts.”  You will find some interesting information in a short period of time.

usually all graphic designers use MACs made by apple.  the macs now have intel chips in them so that should really be the best for graphic designers.  your also going to want a decent video card with 3D and at least a 80gig hard drive.  you are also going to need lots of ram i would say at least 1gig of ram or more.

For the graphic design, check out Seneca College in Oakville (Toronto area), for communication try Carleton University (Ottawa) or Ryerson (Toronto), music production and video production...hmm...there's a school in Toronto for this but also try Ryerson, international business management:  I'd check out Queens University (Kingston) or University of Toronto or University of Ottawa.\n\nThese are all in Ontario

An Associate of Arts degree is built around a two-year degree plan. You can typically take a heavier load of courses and finish the degree in less than two years, if you have the finances and schedule to allow it. Taking summer classes, weekend classes, and mini-mesters (usually 5-week long courses) can also shorten the time to complete the degree. Check online course catalogs and class schedules for more information.

I've been a graphic designer for many years and I teach graphic design - I can tell you that there are people who go into this field who have no artistic talent at all and they get work. Big deal - that just means that there are lots of people out there who don't know anything about design and don't care.\n\nI assume you care about design and that's why you want to be a designer. Caring about it is the best place to start, but being "creative" and knowing the computer won't necessarily make you a GOOD graphic designer; that will take some training and practice in the finer skills and knowledge of graphic design. And you CAN learn those with no previous art training or experience.\n\nIf you care about doing beautiful and interesting work, then you will need to learn about the artistic side of graphic design. The good news is that can be fun and interesting. You CAN learn to draw - both with paper and pencil, and on the computer. You will also learn composition, and color, and typography, plus how to take and manipulate photos and images that work in your designs. \n\nLearning all this is possible in a variety of settings. I recommend taking courses from people who have worked as graphic designers and who can teach and mentor you. If you love design, doing this will be fun, not hard.\n\nThere are lots of resources for beginning designers and there's a lot you can learn online without being enrolled in school.  Here's a great site for all the key elements of graphic design and how to do it well. Each element has many pages - take some time to explore:\nhttp://www.warrenkramer.com/design/4/index.shtml\n\nHere are sites covering the three core elements of design. \n1) Color:\nhttp://www.colormatters.com/colortheory.html\n\n2) Typography\nhttp://www.thinkingwithtype.com/\n\n3) Composition\nhttp://www.typography-1st.com/typo/prnc-des.shtml\n\nAlso, AIGA is the main association for graphic designers and they have a lot of resources for students and newcomers:\nhttp://www.aiga.org/content.cfm/students\n\nFinally, there are lots and lots of good books on graphic design - go to a good bookstore or a library and spend some time looking through them to get an idea of what the work entails.

Graphic Design is an extremely competitive major to get into in most colleges that focus on creative arts.  Once your accepted, the workload is quite large due to the fact that the school wants to mold you into a professional and creative designer so you stand out in the pack, which anymore consists largely of tech school and post high school students who learn Photoshop and start throwing things together.  \n\nAs a graphic designer for Highlights for Children, I can tell you that the designers I look at with full degrees always outshine those without a 4 year degree because they really excel under the pressure of studio based design. The less experienced designers fade into the boring realm of file prep and paper pushing.\n\nThere isn't so much bookwork per say, but you should have your nose in design books, and magazines getting inspired whenever you have a free minute.  I can remember leaving the design lab to get to a class early in the morning with no sleep and MAX stress more times than I can remember getting a good nights sleep with no worries.  If your serious an passionate about graphic design that go for it, but if your looking for a major to replace interior design because it is to difficult, graphic design is not going to give you much respite.  \n\nAlso ask yourself if you can survive now.  There is a reason your in interior design, right?  If you wanted to be a graphic designer you would have fought for that at the get go.  I am sure interior design has a large workload but if its what you want to do you need to ask yourself if it's worth really hitting it hard for four years and then becoming an excellent interior designer for the rest of your life.  I think that is a pretty good trade off, but I am not you.  No matter what your major is going to be, it will get hard and your life is going to be difficult for a little while.  But fighting through it and conquering the obstacles that are in front of you is exactly what that person in the interview who is going to offer you a healthy salary and benefits wants to know you can do.\n\nBest of Luck!\nL
