Liberal Arts DEFINE “INTELLECT.” While CCAD specializes in studio majors, there is much more to the undergraduate curriculum than studio coursework. The BFA degree is 40 percent liberal arts requirements: writing, literature, social and natural sciences, math, business, and much more, including a strong art and design history component. The liberal arts help to create context for studio work, advance critical thinking and cultural awareness, and enhance verbal and written communication skills. They round out students’ education and are essential to quality careers and lifelong learning. But in addition to building intellect, the liberal arts have highly practical applications. This is true for everyone: from a fashion designer who needs to research and understand market psychology when forecasting fashion trends to a fine artist who needs to be an effective writer when applying for grants.

Fashion Design
CLASSIC? EDGY? VINTAGE MOD? Fashion Design emphasizes both design and technical skills with a curriculum that leads students through all aspects of garment design and construction: whether their vision is more traditional and functional or untried and edgy. And to figure out their place in the global retail culture, students gain experience in merchandising methods and the psychology of trends and marketing. The program culminates with each senior designing and producing a personal collection that then may be juried into the annual senior fashion show. Presented on a professional runway, this show is one of CCAD’s most popular events both for the public and for professionals in the fashion industry. Many of our graduates are independent designers; others work for wellknown brands such as Limited Brands, Abercrombie & Fitch, Ann Taylor, Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica, and Pepe Jeans of London, as well as many smaller companies.

Industrial Design MAKE IT BETTER. The world is changing quickly, with complicated demands being made of people and their environments., Industrial designers are at the forefront of that change—because everything we work, play, and interact with must at some point be designed. CCAD’s Industrial Design program teaches students how to analyze, define, conceptualize, and implement the design process to arrive at the most appropriate solution for any given design problem. It all begins with research: identifying and investigating problems and situations. Students master 2D and 3D visualization techniques (like drawing, computer-aided design, and modeling), while at the same time learning to incorporate manufacturing, social, and environmental constraints into their design solutions. The curriculum provides opportunities to design furniture, products, packaging, display exhibits, toys, retail settings, and environmental graphics. Students also have the chance to help solve real-world challenges through internships (which are required) and participation in collaborative projects with industry. Our alumni are active in a wide range of corporate, independent, and consulting positions, including work for companies as well known as Disney, Nike, Hewlett-Packard, Ford, Rubbermaid, Mattel, Mead, and Motorola.

Photography SHOOT. In today’s image-driven environment, photography is one of the most expansive fields in art. CCAD Photography majors explore the vast possibilities of image making in courses designed to strengthen their technique, their knowledge of the photographic arts, and their ability to speak about their work. And when it comes to photo careers after school, our graduates are able to do a lot more than take pictures. There’s lighting, styling, retouching, editing, designing, illustrating, documenting, manipulating, processing, assisting, teaching, and more—in both the commercial and the fine arts worlds.

Master of Fine Arts
80 CCAD Master of Fine Arts
CCAD awards a two-year graduate degree, the Master of Fine Arts in Visual Arts: New Projects. The project-based, multidisciplinary curriculum is designed to develop not just artistic skills, but also skills in planning, communications, and leadership. Two courses form the backbone of the program: Studio Projects (which becomes Thesis Projects during the second year) and the Graduate Seminar. These two courses—the first, individual work with a faculty mentor, and the second, a group critique with peers—are required for all four semesters. The basic core is supplemented by Theory and Criticism, Digital Culture, and Professional Practices courses. A required off-campus experience can be completed at any point during the program, but typically occurs in the summer between the first and second years of study. The second year of the program is primarily focused on the development and completion of a thesis project, paper, and documentation. MFA candidates who take an elective Teaching Methods course and complete either two internships or one internship and one semester of adjunct teaching on campus can earn a concurrent Certificate in College Art Instruction. For complete details, visit ccad.edu/programs/mfa. To apply, or for more information, contact the Graduate Admissions Office at 614.222.4020 or mfa@ccad.edu.
