Art and Design International

Art and Design International Summer 2027

 

The Art and Design International (ADI) program is now accepting applications for students who want to enrich their educational experience by traveling with faculty and studying subjects related to art and culture. In the summer of 2027, participants will travel internationally for four weeks in Greece and Italy. The Department of Art and Design is dedicated to nurturing a Christian worldview in our students. We use travel to encourage them to develop a respect for art, architecture and design across time, culture and geographic barriers. Once immersed in the experience, students are better equipped to appreciate their education while fostering Christian relationships with their classmates, faculty and the people they encounter.

Limited space is available. To apply for this program, complete the online Study Abroad Application.

ADI students are charged for 6 credit hours. If you enroll in more than 6 credit hours, you will be charged for those hours. Courses may be subject to change, with the possible addition of other relevant courses.

No student who is currently on academic, chapel or disciplinary probation on the Searcy campus is eligible to attend an international program. Any student who has applied and/or been accepted will automatically become ineligible if placed on any type of probation up until time to depart. Such individuals will be placed on a waiting list and may go only if there are openings after probation has been removed. In addition, a student must have an overall 2.0 GPA.
