Courses

Below are listed the main EAD courses that have been taught since 1999.Most of these are undergraduate courses because our graduate program has relatively few specialized seminars, focusing more on individual and group critique courses. (For general graduate courses in  Art, go here.) Some links to online syllabi and student projects are listed below their courses.

Note that the curriculum was restructured in 2009-10, in order to create clearer sequences of courses from beginning (65) to advanced (106-130). There are several new courses in the curriculum. In addition, some familiar courses are now taught under new course numbers, and a few courses have been retired.
