Developed for the working professional, classes are held on Tuesday and Thursday 3 - 6pm and 7 - 10pm with alternating Wednesdays for guest lectures, critiques, demonstrations, and/or site visits.

Online/Summer Residency students have 24-hour access to the class materials and are required to participate in online class discussions and complete weekly assignments. Online/Summer Residency students complete their studies in New York City together with the in-classroom students.
Degree candidates must successfully complete 33 credits, including all required courses and maintain a 3.0 grade point average. In the summer semester, each student is required to complete a thesis project that culminates in an online project, printed book and exhibition. The program culminates in an open to the public exhibit, conceived, designed, installed, promoted and organized by graduating students. The thesis project must be reviewed and approved by the thesis committee and the department chair in order for the student to be eligible for degree conferral.
