In our 60th year of publishing, Graphic Design USA | GDUSA presents our favorite institutions and programs that prepare students to work in professional graphic design. The mix is unique: it includes, of course, the traditional and classic prestige institutions dedicated to art and design; a number of wonderful and notable university communications and design departments all over the US; and several excellent and innovative online or hybrid programs for graduate, undergraduate or continuing education.
The selection results from a combination of objective and subjective factors, including our own decades long relationships with designers, students, recruiters, educators. The list is alphabetical. The reach is national. The theme is that education (and educators) are more important than ever in this time of challenge and change — as the lines blur between the classroom and the studio, the academy and the office, the campus and the society.

Our 60th anniversary GDUSA American Package Design Awards™ continues to be the fastest growing of our national competitions and the reason is simple but profound: Marketers and retailers are challenged as never before to convey their message and promote their brand.

Pentagram was asked to rebrand the Shakespeare Theatre Company to signify a new era for the theater and its new leadership team. For example, the Company frequently presents Shakespeare’s classic texts with a fresh angle, highlighting topics such as diversity, inclusivity, and tolerance as well as reflecting on universal themes such as love, power, greed, life, and death.
Pentagram revitalized Shakespeare Theatre Company’s identity, expressing its contemporary spin on Shakespeare’s classic plays.
