What it is	This program teaches you how to design and produce printed materials and publications, from traditional printmaking techniques like etching and screen printing to digital design and book production. Unlike a general fine arts program, it focuses specifically on the skills and technologies involved in creating work for print and publication. It suits people who want to combine visual creativity with the technical craft of making things people can hold and read.	Arts One is a broad first-year program that lets you explore multiple humanities and social science subjects — including anthropology, history, English, economics, and geography — before deciding on a major. Unlike applying directly to a single program, this approach gives you time to sample different disciplines and find the right fit before committing. It suits students who are curious about ideas and society but aren't yet certain which direction they want to specialize in.
