Lecture Classes:

These classes meet every day for a total of 45 contact hours. Classes combine in-class lectures, discussion, and on-site visits and instruction. Most academic courses are reading and writing-intensive and will require a minimum of 6-9 hours of work outside of regular class time.

Studio Art & Design Classes:

These hands-on courses meet every day for a total of 90 contact hours. Studio courses combine practical lessons, in-class demonstrations, and slide presentations. When possible, students go on-site to work or visit exhibits or museums of relevance to the subject being studied. All courses require outside work and in-class critiques, both group and individual. Advanced studio courses may require written assignments, and many require students to keep a sketchbook.

Grading and Evaluation:

Students are graded using the American University model of evaluation.
