Multi-faceted, tech savvy, innovative, and creative—these are just some of the words used to describe today’s graphic designer. Technology has forced designers of all kinds to step up their game in order to keep up. To meet this demand, many U.S. schools have also stepped it up.

Nebraska is home to more than 40 Title IV degree-granting institutions. Title IV schools have five things in common. They have accreditation recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, they have been in business for at least 2 years, they have signed a participation agreement with the Department, they grant an associate's degree or higher, and they offer a program of at least 300 clock hours in length. These requirements make the state’s 40+ Title IV schools eligible for Title IV federal financial-aid programs. This offers greater access to students with financial need.
