| Cognizant that a global perspective is essential for artists and designers in the 21st century, the School is dedicated to international exchange. We are currently in the process of expanding opportunities for study abroad for undergraduates in their junior year , as well as bringing students from our international partner institutions for study in Ann Arbor. It is also hoped that this will lead to increased presence of practicing artists and designers from the countries where we establish connections, creating a truly global creative community. |
| The faculty is currently investigating establishing links with peer institutions world-wide to allow a range of study options for students, including Japan, Canada, Cuba, South Africa, Ghana, Greece, Italy, Turkey, Brazil, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Thailand, India, Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, Netherlands, Korea, and the Czech Republic. |
| Program options will include those for semester long study as well as group travel for shorter periods of time. Instruction will be the language of the host institution, unless English is a viable option. While the School of Art & Design does not have a language requirement, language study is advisable for students interested in pursuing international study. |
