June 17, 2022 - ���������ϲʼ�¼����’s Visual Communication Design program is the best graphic design program in Kentucky, released by Animation Career Review. 

The latest rankings show ���������ϲʼ�¼���� back in the top spot for the first time since 2020, up from No. 3 in the 2021 rankings. Rounding out the top five for the 2022 rankings are Western Kentucky University, University of Louisville, Murray State University and Kentucky Wesleyan College. 

“���������ϲʼ�¼���� Visual Communication Design is honored to be ranked as the No. 1 Graphic Design program in the state,” Brad McCombs, head of the ���������ϲʼ�¼���� Art & Design program, said. “Our program advances the power of creativity and artistic excellence to communicate information and ideas. Our students are empowered to excel in their education and in life, to conduct scholarly research in the arts and design process to enrich our communities. The ���������ϲʼ�¼���� campus, near downtown Cincinnati, allows our curriculum to engage students to world-class design firms, studios, cultural assets and internship opportunities to launch their creative careers. We celebrate this award that highlights the phenomenal work of our Art & Design faculty, staff, and students.” 

Animation Career Review, which has been publishing graphic design rankings since 2015, used six different categorical measures to determine its rankings: academic reputation, employment data, admission selectivity, depth and breadth of the program, value as it relates to tuition and indebtness, and graduation rate.
