English language proficiency is essential to develop as an artist/designer at 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网. Students need a strong command of English in order to understand assignments, participate in critiques, comprehend and engage in critical dialogue, and become active members of the 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 community.
Therefore, technical and conceptual art and design abilities, even when exceptional, will not be enough for success without a solid foundation in English.
澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 is committed to the continued growth and success of students for whom English is a second language. Toward this end, 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 offers instruction for language learners who enter programs with an English ability in all four skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) at least an intermediate level and who have a strong motivation to pursue language development alongside their art/design development.
New incoming students at 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 in undergraduate studies have the opportunity to take a 4 week summer program. This course is offered through Open Studies, and while it is not a intensive English program, it gives students an orientation to academic expectations and art & design school learning opportunities to encourage their success at 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网.
Second year and beyond coursework includes Intellectual History and 300 level courses in Humanistic Studies. This area of course work continues to develop at 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网.
