ÉCOLE PARSONS À PARIS

École Parsons à Paris, known also as Parsons Paris, promotes the artistic and intellectual maturation of promising students into exceptional professional artists, designers and design managers through a rigorous art, design and liberal arts education. Parsons Paris emphasizes the ethical role of creative disciplines, viewing art and design practice as meaningful and necessary contributions to society. Contemporary methods of visual production are taught on the foundation of traditional skills in the fine arts.

PARIS COLLEGE OF ART

Paris College of Art's mission is to provide the highest international standard of art and design education, taught within an American pedagogical paradigm, while being influenced, informed and drawing from our French/European environment.

LETTER FROM THE ACADEMIC DIRECTOR

École Parsons à Paris is a dynamic forum for exchanging ideas, methods and professional experience. Our students and faculty combine curiosity, experimentation and enthusiasm in the pursuit of learning. At Parsons Paris, we believe that finding a design solution, creating a work of art and facilitating the production of a creative team are intellectual processes of undeniable value. Developing critical awareness through hands-on research and discussion is essential to professional maturation and individual growth. Artistic practice demands a high level of personal commitment and discipline, and we expect our students to participate actively in class so that we can explore differing points of view and engage our creative resources. Parsons Paris is rooted in a city of primary art and design production. Experiencing the uniqueness of the Parisian metropolis provides a rich source of visual and intellectual inspiration. Sharing this experience with individuals from over 40 different countries gives our students a unique perspective on the variety of expression existing through-out the world. The legacy of École Parsons à Paris and its successful graduates is something to be proud of and to contribute to in the years to come. Sincerely,

Tony Brown Interim Academic Director

ÉCOLE PARSONS A PARIS

Ecole Parsons à Paris

Parsons Paris was established in 1921 to provide the highest standard of American education to undergraduates in fine arts and design wishing to pursue degree options in Europe. With the resources of its location in one of the world’s most resplendent cities, Parsons Paris emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to academic programs. Parsons Paris draws students from around the world. The spontaneous cultural diversity this engenders complements the program and fosters a critical sensitivity toward the globalization of visual culture and its impact on respective art and design fields. Parsons Paris’ multicultural environment nurtures artistic practice as well as individual growth. The intimate size of our classes provides for a unique contact between instructors and students.

Parsons Paris

Students are encouraged to develop personal expression through creative problem-solving and process-oriented research. Parsons Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; methodology gives students a competitive advantage, both academically and professionally, while emphasizing ethical interaction with society as a whole. Through its international faculty of working professionals, the school maintains close ties with the Parisian art and design culture. Special events, exhibitions and conferences bring students in intimate contact with their distinctive European setting. Parsons Paris fulfills its mission on behalf of students - whether in Communication Design, Design Management, Fashion Design, Fine Arts, Illustration or Photography - by offering a unique and challenging learning opportunity.

Ă&#x2030;cole Parsons Ă Paris is a division of the Paris College of Art, an American college with degree-granting authority from the state of Delaware and accreditation from the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). The school is also recognized by the Rectorat of Paris as a private institute of higher education.

Ecole Parsons à Paris

ÉCOLE PARSONS À PARIS: A HISTORY

In 1921, Frank Alvah Parsons launched the first American education program abroad, The Paris Atelier, situated at the Place des Vosges with 22 students. By 1927, this full-time art and design program had grown to 217 students with 17 nationalities represented, including Austrians, Swedes, Swiss, Russians and Australians. By establishing The Paris Ateliers as a branch of the New York School of Fine and Applied Art, Parsons encouraged the exchange of ideas and trends between New York and Paris at a time when communication between the two continents was much more limited then today.

The basis of the school...was the rec- ognition that art is a universal quality belonging to no particular time, location, class, field or technique; that it is essential to the happiness and success of nation or an individual, both spiritually and materially… The extraordinary change wrought in public taste, the growing belief in a more scholarly research for ideas, instead of the adulation of “originality” without ideas… led to the founding 1921 of the Paris brand of the school at 9 place des Vosges… 1

Parsons Paris

Many designers of great renown were educated at the Paris Ateliers including Claire McCardell, the pioneer of ready-to-wear clothing in America and Gilbert Adrian, the creator of the costumes for The Wizard of Oz. The Parsons table, minimal and, for its time, revolutionary, was designed by Jean-Michel Frank in collaboration with students from The Paris Ateliers. Sadly, due the outbreak of World War II, the Paris Atelier closed its doors in 1939. The school first reopened as a summer program in the late 1970s and in 1981, Frank Alvah Parsonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; great vision of internationalizing art education was revived by David Levy, then Dean of Parsons School of Design, when he established Parsons Paris as a full-time program.

A towering figure in the world of design education, Frank Alvah Parsons encouraged the rise of the design profession in America, trained many of the leading commercial artists of his day, and created and disseminated influential theories of design. Because of his importance, the school he directed, then known as the New York School of Fine and Applied Art, was posthumously renamed for him.2

Student Life

Parsons Paris website: www.parsons-paris.com

More than forty countries are represented in the Ă&#x2030;cole Parsons Ă Paris student population, bringing to this small community a cultural diversity that is rare among art education institutions. This, combined with a location at the crossroads of Europe, makes studying at Parsons Paris a uniquely rich experience for young artists and designers. An elected student government brings issues before the school administration, and organizes social events that unite this close-knit community. Student life is a blend of structured classes, studio time and extracurricular events including guest speakers, gallery openings, social gatherings and the discovery of the world beyond the walls of the school. During the term, excursions are organized to the nearby sites of Giverny or Versailles, and beyond the borders of France to cities such as Berlin, Geneva, London, Florence or Venice.

Student Life

STUDENT LIFE OFFICE

CAMPUS LIFE

The Student Life Office helps students navigate the many aspects of life as temporary residents of Paris and lends a hand as they discover their new environment. The orientation program provides a week–long introduction to the French capital as well as an opportunity to meet fellow classmates and the faculty and staff who form the school community. Student Life staff help students obtain residence permits (cartes de séjour) and advise on such practical matters as banking, telephone and transportation systems, insurance and medical referrals. Student Life provides organizational support for the student government, on-campus internship program, as well as social, cultural and special events. Counseling on any personal concerns that arise during the school term is available on a confidential basis.

While the larger campus is certainly Paris, with its museums and historical sites, the facilities of Parsons Paris are ideally suited for the creative endeavors proposed in the classroom. Skylit studios used for drawing, painting and sculpture surround a central courtyard. The photography studio, printmaking room, fashion atelier, and computer lab enable students to explore the limits of their creativity. An in–house gallery features exhibits by both professional artists and École Parsons à Paris students alike. Small classes, along with individual attention from faculty, provide an optimum environment for developing the discipline and skills required for the student’s artistic pursuit. While classes are taught in English, we encourage students to study French so that they can take full advantage of their time in Paris.

HOUSING & MEALS Students live in dormitories or apartments throughout the city or may choose to live with a French family.

Student Life

Dormitory options include During the fall semester students may choose to live in La Maison Mere Dormitory located in the 6th Arrondissement, three stops away from Parsons Paris. The rooms are equipped with AC, WiFi and Ethernet, electronic keys and digital phones. The building has 24/7 security and receptionist, a Residence Director and Residence Advisor on-site, a library, lounge, computer lab and printers. Meal plans are available. The rooms are double occupancy so you would share with another Parsons Paris student. La Maison Mere is only available for students 18 years of age and older.

Apartments and Homestays The experience of life in the French community helps avoid isolating students within a closed Englishâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; speaking environment. As part of an ongoing process, the Student Life Office is involved in locating apartments suitable for students as well as developing and maintaining contacts with various rental agencies and Homestay providers. Students receive assistance and documentation on effectively dealing with the legal aspects of renting in France. Meals Most Parsons Paris students prepare meals at home, eat in local restaurants or from take-away shops in the neighborhood of school. Additionally, through the CROUS, a public establishment of the French Minister of Education, students have access to four restaurants and twenty university cafeterias at which they can have a three-course meal at lunch or dinner for fewer than 3 Euros.

CENTRE NATIONAL D’ART ET DE CULTURE GEORGES POMPIDOU

Partnerships

The Centre National d’Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou was the initiative of President Georges Pompidou (1911-1974), who wanted to create an original cultural institution in the heart of Paris completely focused on modern and contemporary creation, where the visual arts would rub shoulders with theater, music, cinema, literature and the spoken word. Housed in a building designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, whose architecture symbolizes the spirit of the 20th century, the Centre Pompidou first opened its doors to the public in 1977. It is one of the most visited attractions in France. Some 6 million people pass through the Centre Pompidou’s doors each year. In a unique location under one roof, the Centre Pompidou houses one of the most important museums in the world, featuring the leading collection of modern and contemporary

art in Europe, a vast public reference library with facilities for over 2,000 readers, general documentation on 20th century art, a cinema and performance halls, a music research institute, educational activity areas, and bookshop. Unwavering in its interdisciplinary vocation and its core mission, to spread knowledge about all creative works from the 20th century and the new millennium, each year the Centre Pompidou holds thirty or so public exhibitions plus international events. Exhibitions include cinema and documentary screenings, conferences and symposiums, concerts, dance and educational activities - many of which go on to other venues in France and abroad.

LES ARTS DECORATIFS

Partnerships

Les Arts Décoratifs is a private, notfor-profit organization whose mission, since 1882, has been to promote the applied arts and support the relationship between industry, culture, and design. Originally known as the Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs (UCAD), Les Arts Décoratifs operates the museums (Arts Décoratifs, Mode et Textile, Publicité), and the Bibliothèque des Arts Décoratifs from its location in the Rohan and Marsan wings of the Louvre complex. It also comprises the Musée Nissim de Camondo, located in the Hôtel Camondo (63 rue de Monceau), and the Ecole Camondo, a school of design and interior architecture (266 boulevard Raspail). Les Ateliers du Carrousel offer training workshops in arts and crafts for students of all ages and abilities throughout the organization’s three sites. All of these institutions function collectively to uphold the mission of Les Arts Décoratifs: “to keep alive in France the culture of the arts which seek to make useful things beautiful” by preserving, enriching, and documenting its collections; transmitting knowledge and skills; promoting contemporary design; and developing links with industry.

The Bibliothèque des Arts Décoratifs is a research library dedicated to the decorative and applied arts. Boasting an impressive collection of 120,000 publications—including exhibition and sale catalogues, books, periodicals, 19th-century Japanese books and scrolls, photographs, and other printed records—the library is integral to the institution’s missions of education, preservation, and documentation, and is an invaluable resource for researchers and designers. Of particular interest is the Maciet picture collection, a compilation of engravings and original photographs begun in 1885, which lines the walls of the library in 5,000 albums classified by subject. École Parsons à Paris supports the Bibliothèque des Arts Décoratifs through an annual donation dedicated to acquisitions for the collection, demonstrating the school’s ongoing commitment to research in the fields of art and design. This new partnership gives students and faculty at Parsons Paris privileged access to the library’s resources.

ÉCOLE LESAGE In 1858 Charles F. Worth opened the first Haute Couture salon and in the creation of his notable garments, using lavish fabrics and trimmings, he called upon the embroidery skills of Albert Michonet. In 1924, Albert and Marie-Louise Lesage, a former colleague of Madeleine Vionnet, bought Albert Michonet’s atelier. Thus began a close collaboration between the Maison Lesage and the great fashion designers of the day including: Paquin, Poiret, Redfern, Madeleine Vionnet, and Elsa Schiaparelli. In 1949, at the age of 20, Francois Lesage took over the family business and for fifty years, mastered the blending of exemplary workmanship with the innovative needs of an emerging generation of couturiers: Dior, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Scherrer, Lacroix and Gaultier.

In 2002, Francois Lesage joined the Chanel galaxy, but has remained the preferred supplier of embroideries to all the fashion greats: for Karl Lagerfeld, he is an indispensable and irreplaceable partner.

The Maison Lesage is endowed with an inventory of over 60 tons of supplies among which are iridescent crystal, jet from the 1870s, cabochons, rhinestones, and glass beads from the roaring twenties. Guardian of the disappearing savoirfaire of the craft of embroidery, Francois Lesage established a school to pass on this great tradition. Since its inception in 1992, the Ecole Lesage, located on the ground floor of the Maison Lesage on the rue de la Grange Batelière, has unveiled its embroidery secrets and specialized knowledge to students from around the world. In 2009, Parsons Paris and the École Lesage have partnered to provide our students with an opportunity to learn this great craft and be a part of preserving this technical and artistic heritage.

The Knowledge Network

THE KNOWLEDGE NETWORK In 2008, Parsons Paris launched the Knowledge Network, a research centre dedicated to the dissemination and promotion of research in the fields of art and design. Under the direction of Dr. Brigitte Borja de Mozota, the Knowledge Network operates a Design Observatory to evaluate the state of design research, a project which recently included collaborating with the French Ministry of Industry on a study of continuing education opportunities for designers. In 2009, The Knowledge Network began publishing a new research journal entitled Collection, encouraging the exchange of expertise between researchers and professionals through both articles and visual contributions. The first issue focuses on the intersection of sociology with art and design (Guest editor, professor Michel Maffesoli, guest designer Olivier Peyricot). The Knowledge Network at Parsons Paris is actively engaged in events and conferences, and recently cohosted the 6th edition of Les Ateliers de la Recherche en Design with Université Paris I as part of Designer’s Days 2009. Research tracks for the 2009-2010 year include a conference on Foundation Education and an investigation on the subject of creative cities coinciding with the World Design Capital award.

Biography

Dr. Brigitte Borja de Mozota began her career as a buyer in the department store chain “Au Printemps,” and as the founder and manager of an import company specializing in distributing designer products. In 1985, she received a PhD from Université Paris I Sorbonne following her research on design and its role in marketing strategy. She has since taught in numerous prestigious academic institutions including Université Paris Ouest, ESSEC, and Audencia (France), and Brunel University School of Engineering and Design (UK). Since 2000, she has been supervising research and PhD dissertations in design management, as well as writing numerous articles and reviews for academic research journals (including Design Journal, Revue Française de Gestion, Journal of Creative Industries, Design & Culture). First published in 1990, her book Design Management is a highly esteemed reference in the field, and has been translated into ten languages. As Chair of the Design Management Institute’s Research Advisory Council and co-founder/board member of the European Academy of Design and the Ateliers de la Recherche en Design, Dr. Borja de Mozota brings her expertise to Parsons Paris as Director of Research. 19

Foundation

FOUNDATION Foundation is an intensive, first–year program for BFA candidates. The transdisciplinary curriculum emphasizes drawing, process and creative problem–solving as fundamental to all artistic fields; while selective projects, site–visits, guest lecturers and critics help define the differences between art and design specializations. Students have the flexibility to choose a specific art concentration after a formal exploration of the many options available in art and design. Integrated courses in critical studies provide the means to build

critical awareness, knowledge of art history and communication skills. Foundation offers a uniquely challenging educational environment in which experience of the local culture is an integral part of the learning process. Students develop visual thinking, practical skills and the individual discipline required for future study in the visual arts.

Communication Design

Communication Desgin

COMMUNICATION DESIGN Communication designers give form to information in advertising, publishing and editorial design, corporate and exhibition design, websites, multimedia, environmental graphics, signs and maps, film and video. In all these fields, the need to clearly and succinctly inform, entertain and persuade remains a critical concern. Located in an internationally renowned mecca for artists and designers, Parsons Paris offers Communication Design majors a unique opportunity to broaden their cultural and creative perspectives. Not only is the metropolitan landscape an ideal

setting to experience graphic design in action, but the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vibrant community of design professionals is a rich resource for students as they discover their own visual language. The comprehensive curriculum at Parsons Paris establishes a solid foundation in visual form and design principles, as well as addressing the methodologies and issues behind contemporary graphic design. Visits to Parisian art and design institutions like the Pompidou Center, the MusĂŠe des Arts DĂŠcoratifs, and the Palais de Tokyo provide a wealth of opportunities to view the trajectory of European communication design from its historical roots through to its latest trends.

Design Management

DESIGN MANAGEMENT The Design Management Department introduces students to a unique combination of design and management courses. Its goal is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the complexity involved in the management of design, its practice and the social role it plays in everyday life. Students are introduced to designâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multifaceted nature by exploring how they can manage design and create new value for business and society at large. They are introduced to the basics of design thinking through a handson approach that requires them to engage in the production of design.

They consider how design impacts business through seminars dedicated to management in all its aspects. Students learn to contextualise the role design plays in society through courses that introduce them to the history and sociology of design. Upon completion of the program, students will have acquired a fundamental knowledge of design and management, allowing them to identify and manage design that is functional, ergonomic, aesthetic and sustainable.

I‘m reading Where do you find inspiration? two, no, three books at the moment: Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope, Obama is an excellent writer, well versed. I’m also reading Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, a must read for designers. The third is the Tibetan Book of the Dead, revised by the Dalai Lama, it’s a great spiritual read.

Fashion Design

FASHION DESIGN The art and business of fashion give form and function to clothing, a basic human need, imbuing it with meaning in the ever-evolving language of style. The core of Parsons Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; curriculum is the designer critic program that emulates the workings of a professional design studio from conceptual drawing and patternmaking to the selection of colors, fabrics and the construction of finished garments. Students acquire an understanding of tools, materials, construction techniques and textile design methods, enabling them to express their individual creative visions. Intensive concept and design courses, weekly critiques, workshops with industry professionals and the study of Parisian prĂŞt-Ă -porter help students to develop originality and acquire an understanding of their

craft. Beyond the school atelier, exposure to textile trade fairs, designer shows and museum exhibitions all foster a keen understanding of the European marketplace. Visiting critics help familiarize students with the design requirements and specificities of various markets, while company-driven projects expose students to the real world challenges they will face in the business of style. Senior year culminates with the designer critic project in the first semester and the construction of a capsule collection in the second semester, all of which is presented in an annual fashion show attended by fashion professionals and the international press.

Fine Arts

FINE ARTS With Paris as its extraordinarily rich cultural setting, the Fine Arts Department promotes the acquisition and development of artistic skills, the expression of creative processes, and an informed awareness ofÂ how art practice intersects with current visual, cultural and societal concerns. Fine Arts provides students with a strong foundation in the artistic tradition via both established and new media, thus enriching their capacity for communication and expression as a whole. The core of the program is taughtÂ through the disciplines of painting, drawing and sculpture, but students may also select from classes such as printmaking, photography, installation and digital imaging.

Interdisciplinary practiceÂ provokes students to pursue and develop individual artistic modes of inquiry. Courses in Art History and Critical Studies, critiques, debate and tutorials, and the considerable resources available in Paris, direct students to an informed exploration within both historical and contemporary art practice. Application of theory and criticism shapes the students' ability to work and think critically and analytically. Museum and gallery visits are an integral aspect of the curriculum. The Fine Arts faculty, comprising professional exhibiting artists, is complemented by guest lectures from visiting international artists and critics.

Art is important because it allows one to look at the world from a different

Illustration

ILLUSTRATION Illustration has developed in tandem with the great movements of art history, from manuscript illumination and poster art to comic strips and graphic novels, and played a dynamic role in visual communication and provocation, both in France and beyond. The vibrant tapestry of Parisian culture, both historical and contemporary, has continually provided a rich source of inspiration for illustrators, as have the many artists such as Daumier, Toulouse-Lautrec, Doré, Chéret, Topor and Sempé, whose illustrative works have been absorbed into the iconography of Paris.

Students in the Illustration department learn to solve conceptual problems with the city as their living textbook. The collections of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the Musée de la Publicité, the Forum des Images, and the Centre Pompidou are invaluable as educational resources. Drawing on the wealth of the Parisian cinematic tradition, students also take the drawn image into space and time through projects in 2D and 3D animation. Working directly with European professionals, Illustration students at Parsons Paris learn the tools to compete effectively in the creative fields of design and communication.

Since I was a child, a big influence was childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s booksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; illustrations. At that

young age, the fascinating world depicted by the pictures would make up for When did you first realize you wanted to be an artist? my inability yet to decode the message hidden behind the words; so the detailed pictures held all the messages and I in turn held the key to unlock them.

I always seek to first understand what message I wish to express, followed

by a rigorous refinement in which I attempt to get that message across with Where do you find inspiration and how does this affect your process? the most elegant and simple image I can develop. It simply means that every element within the illustration should help tell a very specific story. My main source of inspiration comes from the world around me and Paris has inspired me a lot, the flea markets, the circus, the buildings, the galleries, the museums.

I love the mass transportation system, it can take you anywhere and it makes

me feel independent and flexible. I love spending time playing ping - pong in What do you love most about Paris? the park. I enjoy venturing into the oldest neighborhoods to discover small shops that deal with old-fashioned materials and conventional typography. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still discovering Paris; the only thing that brings some complexity to my life here is the language. Paris has been inspiring to me. If I leave, I will miss everything that builds this beautiful Parisian atmosphere like the cafes, the brasseries, the metro, the flea markets, the galleries, the museums and the croissants for breakfast.

Throughout a project things may go differently than the way the project

was initially planed. Preparing myself for obstacles and difficulties that may How do you keep motivated when things get tough? occur helps me to keep my motivation at the highest level possible and able to cope with stress when time schedules are at stake. 111

Photography

PHOTOGRAPHY The photography curriculum balances analog and digital technologies with an emphasis on developing a creative vision and gaining a solid understanding of the image-making process. The program considers not only the technical aspects of image creation and production, but also examines how photographs are presented, discussed, used, documented or archived: in short, how they function in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society. The department addresses technical and conceptual skills equally, as both are essential to any photographic practice. Students are encouraged to explore a number of different interests by attending courses in other depart-

ments such as Communication Design, Fine Arts, or Fashion, in order to think about photographyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broader applications, implications and contexts. Through seminars, lectures, lab and studio courses as well as an internship, students gain first-hand experience from practicing photographers and learn about innovative approaches to photography, while defining their own way of working. This program includes a direct-entry option which allows students to specialize in Photography from the first year, rather than following the Foundation curriculum.

Critical Studies

CRITICAL STUDIES The interdisciplinary Critical Studies curriculum provides students with critical-historical perspectives on art, design and culture, and the research, writing and presentation skills essential to a wellâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;rounded approach to art and design. These skills and knowledge permit students to situate contemporary visual culture within its wider geographical and historical contexts, to investigate a range of issues that impact cultural production, and to discover and probe resonances with their own practice.

The curriculum has a strong art and design history and theory component, which is supplemented by general critical studies courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The BFA and BBA degrees require students to complete 42 Critical Studies credits overall. Within the Critical Studies requirements, a minimum number of credits in art and design history is required of all students (12 credits for the BBA track; 18 credits for the BFA track).

141

Critical Studies

In Freshman year, “Survey of World Art & Design” serves as a key initiation to the historical examination and critical analysis of art and design across ages and cultures. Students learn to look at, contextualize, and interpret images and artifacts. “Critical Reading & Writing” emphasizes creative thinking, the acquisition of good writing skills, and its use as a tool for personal expression. Following this, in addition to a set of core courses designed for the specific majors and degrees, a wide range of Critical Studies electives enable students to broaden and sharpen their own critical and theoretical points of view. Parsons Paris takes special advantage of its campus and location as an ideal environment for observing and exploring social and cultural difference. Visits to studios, museums, galleries and various cultural events expose students to historical and contemporary art and design achievements. Senior level seminars address timely and provocative issues that help students develop ideas and make critical choices that will enhance their own careers as artists and designers.

142

Critical Studies requirements for degree programs vary. Students should consult their advisor to ensure that these requirements are fulfilled appropriately. Under exceptional circumstances, and by approval of the Critical Studies Chair, requirements may be taken out of sequence.

THE RESEARCH AND WRITING LAB The Research and Writing Lab provides supplementary support for students working on written projects in the English language. Through individual appointments and periodic workshops, students receive coaching on all aspects of the writing process, from content and structuring to research and documentation. LEARNING RESOURCES AND ACCESS At Parsons Paris, we aim to provide a quality learning environment for all our students and are developing a new access initiative to address the needs of students with disabilities. By making resources available to students of different abilities and through methods of assessment that are flexible enough for us to adapt to students’ individual needs, we strive to aid those with learning difficulties to achieve their full potential.

Manufacture Nationale de Sevres, all the artists there work using 18th century traditional techniques. The residency is a unique opportunity as well as a challenge for me to work in collaboration with this famous institution. Additionally, I recently received the Prix Bettencourt pour lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;intelligence de la main that has only been given to one other ceramist.

DEGREE PROGRAMS ACADEMIC PROGRESS Parsons Paris offers degree programs based on the American system of education, in which students who successfully complete four years of study receive a Bachelor’s Degree. In the fields of art and design, students receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (BFA) preparing them to enter their profession. Students can choose Communication Design, Illustration, Fashion Design, Fine Arts or Photography. BFA candidates start in the Foundation Year; Photography students have the option of “direct entry” into their major starting from freshman year. Students interested in pursuing a career in business for the design industries enter the Design Management program as freshmen; upon successful completion of the four-year program these students receive a Bachelor of Business Administration degree (BBA)*, the recognized undergraduate degree in business in the USA.

*The Bachelor of Business Administration degree meets the NASAD standards for a Bachelor of Arts - Design Management (Multi-disciplinary design).

In the American education system the first year of the Bachelor’s degree is called the Freshman Year, the second is Sophomore Year, the third is Junior Year and the fourth is Senior Year. Academic Progress towards a degree is measured by 3 criteria: Qualitative progress Undergraduate students must maintain a minimum weighted average of all courses taken, called a Grade Point Average (GPA), of 2.0 to be considered in good standing and to qualify for financial assistance. Quantitative progress Students are expected to carry a full course load and to enroll in the correct number of Core courses and Critical Studies courses each semester. Level review/curricular progress Satisfactory academic progress also requires that courses be completed in the appropriate sequence and that an adequate level of achievement be maintained in Core courses. Students who fail to meet this standard by performing poorly in or failing required courses, but who are otherwise in good academic standing, will be placed on Departmental Probation and required to repeat specific classes, a semester, or academic year.

THE AMERICAN CREDIT SYSTEM

ADMISSIONS

ADMISSIONS CRITERIA

SPECIAL CONDITION ADMISSIONS

Parsons Paris has no set admissions formula. Each applicant is reviewed individually with regard to his or her own experience, achievement and potential for artistic growth. A large part of the Admissions Committee’s decision is based upon evaluation of the Paris Portfolio, Design Analysis Essay, and Personal Statement (see pages 161-164). Parsons Paris seeks serious, responsible, and highly motivated applicants. A prospective student’s potential for artistic achievement is one of the most important criteria in evaluating candidates for admission.

In some cases, the Admissions Committee may require one of the following conditions:

ADMISSIONS DECISIONS The Admissions Committee will make no decision on an application until all materials have been received by the Admissions Office; decisions are rendered and mailed to applicants within three weeks of receipt of all materials. All materials submitted to the Admissions Office, including home assignment, portfolio, transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc, become the property of Parsons Paris. ACCEPTED APPLICANTS When notified of acceptance, applicants receive information about housing, tuition and fees, and other matters. The Admissions Committee’s decision to admit an applicant is contingent upon successful completion of any ongoing studies, and on the Admissions Committee’s receipt of the final transcripts of those studies.
