Just Accepted Visual Communications Student Brittney Porter is a recent graduate of BYU and also a newlywed. This Professional Designation Student has a passion for design, family, and helping others (she's volunteered with orphan children in Zambia and taught English in Tonga).
"Like many people, I feel most like myself when I am doing something I love and creative design is definitely something I love. FIDM offers me a very specialized education in Visual Communications, and is one of the only nationally accredited colleges that is able to do that. Having already earned a degree, FIDM acknowledges that accomplishment and offers a Professional Designation program which allows me to focus on specific course work instead of extra general studies.
FIDM has over 19,000 employer contacts as well as provides hands-on experiences and an industry-directed curriculum. FIDM absolutely seems intent on helping its students start and establish a long lasting career."
