Academic 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网
Exchange students must enroll in a full-time course load of at least 12 credits. Generally speaking, exchange students and 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 students enroll in 15 credits (five classes) — 3 studio classes and 2 academic classes. Exchange students may take classes in their major area and in any other studio area for which they are qualified, space permitting.
Studio classes generally meet once per week for six hours. Most academic classes meet once per week for three hours. Students should expect to spend 45 hours a week engaged in learning activities both in and out of class. In most studio classes, students will do studio work and will participate in critiques and presentations. Exchange students are expected to attend all class meetings and complete all coursework. Grades and credits will be awarded at the end of the semester.
Class Schedule
Students should indicate their class preferences (in order of preference) in the appropriate place on the exchange application form. 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 will create a schedule based on a combination of the classes requested on the exchange application, class recommendations by 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 department chairs, student qualifications for classes that require prerequisites and availability.
Since we can't guarantee your preferred courses, please examine all available courses at 澳门金沙投注_任你博-官网 and list as many alternates your exchange application.
