What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
I think anything with the title "graphic design" is a good option. Internships or junior-level positions are also suitable.
Depending on your school, you will likely be qualified to start working quickly. Most programs teaching graphic design prepare you well for entry-level roles.
You can also teach yourself new skills online for free. This is how I continue to learn. If you see "graphic design" in a job title, I would encourage you to apply.
