- Description
- The medical illustration BFA teaches you to take complex scientific and medical information and distill it into stunning visual images. This medical illustration major prepares you to work with scientists, physicians, surgeons, researchers, and other medical specialists to take complex scientific information and distill it into visual images that can be used in a wide range of applications, such as textbooks, brochures, infographics, interactive models, 2D and 3D animations, motion graphics, courtroom exhibits, digital presentations, and educational materials. During your first two years of the major, you will focus on developing your drawing and traditional illustration skills while also attending human biology, anatomy, and physiology classes. Building on a strong foundation of science courses, your third and fourth years emphasize 2D and 3D computer illustration and animation in addition to taking your science knowledge to the next level. You will attend Human Gross Anatomy, a course that includes head-to-toe dissection in RIT’s Cadaver Lab, which is one of the few undergraduate labs of its kind in the nation. You will also closely collaborate with area hospitals to draw from direct observation of in-progress surgical procedures and real-time medical treatments. Throughout your course work, you may also select electives that enhance your studies and enable you to pursue areas of personal or professional interest.
