Spring>Summer Program

Fast-forward your creative career

Don’t want to wait until next fall?

With our Spring>Summer Program, complete your first year of college starting in January, jumping into sophomore year that fall.

Deferring your start to January, and participating in a condensed 9-week term from May to July, will ensure you are prepared to start in September with no delay.

And you’ll graduate in 3.5 years!

Financial Aid and housing is available, even during the summer, so you can live on campus with your classmates.

How does this work?

In January, you'll take classes during a traditional 16-week semester. The specific classes will depend on whether you're transferring classes from another college or AP courses.

In May through July, you’ll participate in a condensed 9-week summer program, to complete classes to prepare you for your sophomore year.

The required summer session is divided into three-week studio sessions and a nine-week liberal arts session.

In late August, you’ll begin your sophomore year, focused in your major.
