English for Art & Design is a 1-credit language-intensive course for new graduate students in any of RISD’s programs. The course provides a linguistic, cultural, and academic foundation and connects graduate students across disciplines. The course serves as additional language study or an intro to US academic culture if you have never studied in the U.S. before. It is not a traditional language class; all course material is drawn from our academic fields, work, and interests.
The course meets online July 5-30, 2021, with live sessions Mon/Wed 8-10 PM EST, individual meetings with the instructor, and additional independent and interactive work, totaling 10 -15 hours per week.
Please contact instructor and Associate Director of Multilingual Learning Maya Krinsky to sign up or ask questions about this course or other recommendations for pre-arrival study. mkrinsky01@risd.edu.
