I do think you are right and that univerities are improving in this area. I posted this blog at Ecademy also and some interesting conversation ensued about it - http://www.ecademy.com/node.php?id=84225 Amanda xx Thanks Greg, I was hoping someone who has experienced an education in Graphic Design would comment and shed light on what is being taught in the universities.

On my course I have found they have suggested starting your own business as viable option when completing, as well as a lot of talk about freelancing. We have also had a few elements to the course that have involved business, and commercial studio practice. Just thought I'd share that with you, as I think its something that most Universities are improving on! Or maybe I'm just lucky on my course?! Greg Hi Amanda,
