The mission of the Department of Computer Graphics Technology at Purdue University is to prepare students to be the nation’s best practitioners, managers and leaders of applied computer graphics. The Department will be recognized as the national leader through its diverse faculty, staff, and students, and its excellence in learning, discovery and engagement.

The Department of Computer Graphics Technology prepares visually oriented students who are interested in creating and managing the production of computer graphics for a wide range of industry. Students work in computer labs developing their graphics skills, techniques, concepts, and management ability through individual and team-based projects. After successful completion of the pre-technical graphics curriculum, students can select one of four program options in interactive multimedia, technical animation, manufacturing graphics, or construction graphics.
