CLASS SELECTION

• Students will choose 4-5 courses, earning 12-16 US credits. Courses can fill up quickly and no course is guaranteed. It is suggested that students apply early for greater course availability. Pay close attention to prerequisites and class times in order to avoid conflicts.

• Placement exams for studio art courses are mandatory for students wishing to register for anything other than beginning classes. These placement tests are administered during the first week of classes, and students are provided the exact meeting time during orientation. Class schedules indicate that many of the studio art courses involve two time blocks; students enrolled in those courses must attend both time blocks.

• Some courses may require additional fees for labs, materials, equipment, etc. which are not included in the program cost. In addition, some courses require students pay for class field trips. This will be noted in the descriptions for such courses.

  
  

INTERNSHIPS

LdM offers internships for credit and in combination with academic courses only. Students should indicate their interest in an internship upon application, and submit a résumé/C.V., essay, and portfolio. The internship essay should discuss the student’s reason for applying, expectations about the internship, and a detailed description of the duties in which the student would like to partake. An on-site interview is required of all students. Placements are limited, so students are encouraged to apply early!
