University Printing Programs -- The Next Impression

"We have a very active and aggressive advisory board that has provided us with outstanding information about the trends and future of our industry," says Patrick Klarecki, department chair, Printing and Imaging Technology Management. "The New Media degree was the first in the nation and has now been followed by schools like RIT. Other schools have shifted their programs to more of a design or animation emphasis because that is what kids want. We have held fast to our focus of production skills—what employers want despite a flat enrollment."
