Graphic design school student. "My degree in Graphic Design from Colorado Mountain College gave me the experience to feel comfortable looking for work in the industry, and landed me a job as a packaging designer with Hasbro Toys in Pawtucket Rhode Island. Everyday I use many of the skills, software and techniques I learned through my professors at CMC."

Graphic design school student. "The Graphic Design program prepares you well for starting in a design position. You get your basics down well so that when you go out there it’s at your fingertips, so you’re not second-guessing."

- Crystal Aschmann, was hired as the Graphic Designer for Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association right after graduation.
Graphic design school student. "The Graphic Design program at Colorado Mountain College helped me learn to combine my artwork with type and other elements to produce effective visual communication."

-Erin Rigney, owner Rainy Day Designs. National clients include Cloudveil and Malden Mills, maker of Polartec.
Graphic design school student. "You can get as much out of the program as you want. When I got out and started working, I found that they taught all the skills you would actually use instead of just theory. I talked to people who have gone through other design schools and I found out that they don't really get the real world skills that are needed. You get a good base of technical skills at Colorado Mountain College. This is definitely a great place to go to school."
