Providence (United States) - (RISD)'s Summer Institute for Graphic Design Studies (SIGDS) is an unparalleled opportunity for students and professionals from numerous disciplines to immerse themselves in a broad range of graphic design topics, offered in a series of concentrated two-week courses.
The SIGDS program is structured in four successive, independent two-week modules. Each module comprises 60 hours of course work, and classes run Monday through Friday for two weeks. There are three courses to choose from in each module; students can enroll in courses in one, two, three or all four of the two-week modules, as preferred. Tuition is USD $2250 for each module, and there is a USD $75 lab fee for each module. The modules are independent and there are no prerequisites, so a student may take any combination of modules.
Instruction is provided by professors from RISD's Graphic Design Department and visiting international graphic design professionals. RISD's renowned, comprehensive design studios and high-tech facilities, among the very best in the country, complement a curriculum that is both technically advanced and conceptually innovative.
The SIGDS curriculum is especially attentive to addressing the monumental changes that have occurred as a result of the globalization of visual communications. Its courses seek to aid participants in the challenging undertaking of improving the way we communicate visually. The individual offerings range from those with little emphasis on technology to those much more dependent on technology, but all invite students and other aspiring graphic designers to join with educators and professionals as they create exciting, well-considered graphic design.
