CORE STUDIO

CORE Studio classes provide key experiences across disciplines in visual literacy, digital literacy, design principles, color theory, and drawing. CORE First Year develops every student’s creative center through exploration of traditional and digital media, creative research methodologies, and collaborative practices. After the first year, CORE concentrates on technical studies at the sophomore level, conceptual studies at the junior level, and professional studies at the senior level.

CORE LIBERAL ARTS

CORE Liberal Arts classes include courses in writing, literature, philosophy, social science, physical science, math, and art history that support and complement the college’s art and design studio programs. More than just a degree requirement, CORE Liberal Arts encourages students to engage with their world intellectually, philosophically, and culturally.

CORE HONORS

CORE Honors is a competitive program that enables students to assume a leadership role in the creative and intellectual life of CCAD. Components include special topic courses, individualized mentoring, and interaction with visiting artists and industry professionals. An honors symposium and/or capstone project round out the experience in the senior year.

Benefits of CORE Honors include early registration for classes, unique opportunities to engage with other students across majors, special recognition at commencement, and honors designation on transcripts. Students can apply to the program freshman or sophomore year. Once accepted, students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5, designate 18 hours of major and/or elective credit to honors courses or projects, and complete a senior honors thesis or capstone project.

CORE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

CORE Experiential Learning is designed to give students real-world experiences in their major areas of study.

Special Topics Classes

Special topics classes allow students to do projects with visiting artists, short-term faculty, or industry and community partners that might otherwise fall outside the typical curriculum or academic planning process.

Internships

Some majors require internships, while others strongly encourage them. The annual fall Internship & Jobs Fair allows students to meet with potential internship providers on campus. In addition, internship opportunities are advertised at www.ccadcareers.com throughout the year.

Intercollegiate Cross-Registration

Administration Mission Statement To think. To do. To reflect. To unleash your power to shape culture and commerce.

Accreditation and Affiliations CCAD is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) and the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The Interior Design program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA). CCAD is affiliated with many academic organizations, including the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD), the National Association of Foreign Student Affairs, and the New Media Consortium, which has designated the college a New Media Center.

Diversity at CCAD CCAD defines diversity as a collection of differences in human expressions, life experiences, and personal characteristics present among individuals and groups. These elements, in sum and in part, enrich our campus community and the larger world. The dimensions of diversity include, but are not limited to, age, culture, ethnicity, gender identification and presentation, geographical location, language, nationality, physical and cognitive abilities/qualities, political views, race, religion/ spirituality, sexual orientation and preference, and socioeconomic status. This definition informs and guides our curriculum, programs, and conduct as we strive for greater understanding and true celebration of our human community.

Nondiscrimination Statement CCAD admits students of any race, color, gender, religion, national and ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, or age to all the rights and privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, national or ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, or age in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs and other school-administered programs.

Weapons Policy Unless specifically authorized by the college or otherwise authorized by law, pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code, no student, employee or other persons having business with the college shall knowingly possess, have under the person’s control, convey or attempt to convey a deadly handgun or dangerous ordnance, including firearms, explosives, knives, BB guns, paintball guns, martial arts weapons, antiques, or other weapons of any kind, onto CCAD property, including but not limited to CCAD-owned or -leased buildings and parking lots. Nor shall an individual possess a replica of such items that could be reasonably mistaken for any item listed above, except for faculty using replicas in classroom settings in the course of instruction. Violations of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including suspension or termination of employment or educational standing with the college and referral to authorities for prosecution.
