The curriculum is divided into introductory courses in the first and second year, and specialized courses in the third and fourth year. The introductory courses focus on the development of creativity as a foundation of visual communication design. While cultivating "communication" based on description skills, and "communicability" as a product of creativity in terms of color, shape, material, and composition, by "manual" techniques, students learn "mechanical" modeling techniques based on photography and computer technology. Centering around a systematically built course system, the curriculum for the specialized third and fourth-year courses was designed to develop a high degree of professionalism. Students choose one from among the three specialized courses "Advertising", "Communication" and "Expression". In anticipation of their future careers, students may also take a combination of specialized courses other than the one selected.
