WEBVTT 0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:05.839 Hello, and welcome to UIC College of Architecture, Design, and the 0:00:05.839 --> 0:00:10.000 Arts. Here you will learn about the programs our college has to offer, 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:13.759 as well as get a glimpse into the experience of being a CADA student at 0:00:13.759 --> 0:00:16.480 UIC, which offers the unique blend of 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:21.039 intimate focused arts training within the context of a large, tier one 0:00:21.039 --> 0:00:24.880 research university. CADA has a student population of about 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:28.400 1200, while the entire student population of UIC 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:32.800 is just around thirty one thousand. We are one of sixteen colleges, 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.960 located in an authentic campus setting within walking distance and right off 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.559 the El to the dynamic global cultural arts and 0:00:40.559 --> 0:00:44.079 design center: the city of Chicago. 0:00:44.079 --> 0:00:48.640 Our mission is to educate and mentor the next generation of visual 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.079 and performing artists, designers, architects, 0:00:52.079 --> 0:00:57.680 art historians, and museum professionals. Our college is made up of four unique 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.920 schools: Architecture, Art & Art History, Design, 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.760 and Theater & Music. We offer multiple Bachelor's degrees, 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:09.600 Master's degrees, as well as a PhD in art history, 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:15.360 and six areas for minor study. We also house the Jane Addams Hull House Museum, 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:20.080 which is a national historic landmark and museum committed to social justice, 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:24.880 Gallery 400, a dynamic cutting edge contemporary art gallery, 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:29.040 and the Innovation Center, an incubator for interdisciplinary innovation, 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:35.920 collaboration, and education. We'll start with the School of Architecture 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:40.640 In our School of Architecture, we offer a four-year, pre-professional Bachelor of 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.759 Science degree, allowing you the option to continue on 0:01:43.759 --> 0:01:48.159 to a professional Master's degree in order to become a licensed architect 0:01:48.159 --> 0:01:51.119 About 50% of our students continue to our own 0:01:51.119 --> 0:01:54.560 professional Master's program. Our Bachelor of Science degree would 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.200 prepare you for two years at the graduate level, 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:01.040 however you don't have to be a licensed architect to be successful in the field 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:05.439 with this degree. The Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies 0:02:05.439 --> 0:02:09.759 was developed primarily for transfer students and is an upper level program 0:02:09.759 --> 0:02:14.640 requiring that a student enter with a minimum of 60 credits. 0:02:14.640 --> 0:02:18.239 Importantly, for both degrees, there is no portfolio 0:02:18.239 --> 0:02:24.400 or experience required. We offer a unique approach to the study 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.680 of architecture. Studio classes make up the bulk of your 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:32.080 education. Some advantages to our studio courses is 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.920 that you are directly admitted; you don't have to wait to start, you'll start your 0:02:35.920 --> 0:02:39.760 studio classes day one, and you have a dedicated space 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.239 all four years that you're with us. Our studio classes have an emphasis on 0:02:44.239 --> 0:02:48.480 the design aspect of architecture. Theory and tech come in later in your 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:54.480 study and not all programs are like that. Our architecture program is housed in 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:59.760 the arts college for a reason. Each studio dedicates itself to a 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.120 year-long project with years one through three being 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.560 collaborative, and year four being student directed, 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:10.879 so you have an option of what you want to focus on for that year, 0:03:10.879 --> 0:03:16.560 leading to a thesis project. Even with these rigorous sequential 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.920 studio courses you still do take gen eds, and there is 0:03:19.920 --> 0:03:25.360 both a math and a physics requirement as a part of this degree. 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.879 The first year studio curriculum introduces various techniques in drawing, 0:03:30.879 --> 0:03:35.760 model building ,and digital production as organizers and generators of both 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:40.480 architectural and urban form. Critical observation 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.599 inquiry and thinking methodologies are introduced 0:03:43.599 --> 0:03:46.640 through a sequence of short assignments that build on one another 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.920 and focus on architectural concepts such as form, 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:54.239 space, proportion, and scale. 0:03:55.599 --> 0:03:58.640 The Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies program 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.640 is designed to provide graduating students with everything they would need 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.080 to prepare an application that would be favorably received 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.519 by a three-year Master of Architecture program, such as that 0:04:09.519 --> 0:04:14.000 offered by UIC. This degree is also designed for transfer students who 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.040 have completed at least 60 credits either at UIC 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.639 or another institution. There is no portfolio for this degree 0:04:20.639 --> 0:04:24.639 although there is a 2.75 GPA minimum requirement 0:04:24.639 --> 0:04:28.000 for all transfer students to apply to UIC. 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.840 This program is also pre-professional as you will need to continue 0:04:31.840 --> 0:04:35.040 to professional graduate study in the field of architecture 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:39.680 with this degree. A recent alum who received the Bachelor of Science in 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:44.160 Architecture in 2016 says, "UIC has been a great help in 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.759 broadening my knowledge while encouraging me to develop strong 0:04:47.759 --> 0:04:51.680 relationships with my fellow colleagues and professors. It provides a 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:57.120 professional learning atmosphere and inspires creativity and innovation." 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:03.039 This quote is so important because it points out the fact that every single 0:05:03.039 --> 0:05:06.880 one of your professors are active professionals in their field, 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.000 which is an incredibly unique attribute to our programs here 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:15.840 at CADA. We don't teach art in a bubble. Instead, you are learning, and creating, 0:05:15.840 --> 0:05:19.680 and making art with active professionals who then 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:24.960 become your colleagues once you graduate, and the opportunity to be connected in 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.320 an immediate way to the professional field sets our 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:33.360 program apart. Now we have the School of Art 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:38.240 & Art History. We offer Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in both Art 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:42.639 and Art Education. We offer a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History, 0:05:42.639 --> 0:05:46.639 as well as in Interdisciplinary Education in the Arts, or as we call it 0:05:46.639 --> 0:05:51.759 IDEAS. We also have graduate programs, and we're the only public university in 0:05:51.759 --> 0:05:56.080 Chicago to offer Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees in the 0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:01.199 field of art history. There is no portfolio required to apply 0:06:01.199 --> 0:06:04.479 to our art programs. All of our first-year students enter a 0:06:04.479 --> 0:06:07.120 foundational year where you're introduced to the art 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.960 curriculum sequence, including introductions to the areas of 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.080 concentrations you can choose to pursue in the 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.039 following years. At the end of this first year is a 0:06:17.039 --> 0:06:22.319 portfolio review with your faculty for both the BFA Art and Art Ed students. 0:06:22.319 --> 0:06:25.840 There is an additional portfolio review at the end of the second year 0:06:25.840 --> 0:06:30.960 for students entering the Art Ed professional core. 0:06:31.840 --> 0:06:37.680 The BFA in Art is designed to offer an interdisciplinary experience. 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:42.880 Your concentration and major courses make up about half your 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:47.199 academic time, while your general education and other foundational courses, 0:06:47.199 --> 0:06:50.080 including electives, make up the other half of your 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.759 time. Art majors have the flexibility to 0:06:53.759 --> 0:06:56.400 choose to concentrate in one of four areas: 0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:01.840 New Media Arts, Moving Image, Photography, and Studio Arts, or steadily pursue 0:07:01.840 --> 0:07:05.199 coursework in all media throughout their four years. 0:07:05.199 --> 0:07:09.680 So, you'll graduate with a BFA in Art but a concentration in a specific area, 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:17.039 if that's what you choose. The BFA in Art is incredibly student driven. We offer 0:07:17.039 --> 0:07:20.880 you the tools, support ,and resources you need to be the 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.919 artist you want to be. rather than prescribing a 0:07:23.919 --> 0:07:27.199 certain style or method of art making onto your 0:07:27.199 --> 0:07:32.639 educational experience. Art Education students take the same 0:07:32.639 --> 0:07:36.960 foundation year, as this program emphasizes you as an 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.560 artist first, and the educational method is applied in 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:46.639 years three and four of the curriculum. The professional core includes Chicago 0:07:46.639 --> 0:07:49.759 Public School teaching mentorship and in-classroom 0:07:49.759 --> 0:07:54.319 experience. By the time you finish this professional 0:07:54.319 --> 0:07:59.520 core you will be set up for success to complete your art teaching certification, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:04.000 so this degree program provides a direct path to teach high school art 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.280 in the state of Illinois. 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:12.160 The BA in Art History is based in seminar and elective coursework 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:16.479 of which the elective courses are student selected. 0:08:16.479 --> 0:08:20.800 Art history is the critical inquiry into the ways people have reimagined their 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.199 worlds through painting and sculpture, 0:08:23.199 --> 0:08:27.520 architecture, photography, film, performance, and design. More than 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.919 anything else, it is a history of creativity. 0:08:31.919 --> 0:08:35.039 Our program promotes the connection between historical 0:08:35.039 --> 0:08:41.760 analysis and the current impact art has on today's society, 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:46.080 with an emphasis on discussion and critical thinking. 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.120 Students will be prepared for our increasingly global, 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:53.360 complex, and image saturated world. 0:08:53.680 --> 0:08:58.000 All of our undergraduates pursuing the Bachelor of Arts in Art History 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:03.519 are required to either study abroad, participate in a professional internship, 0:09:03.519 --> 0:09:08.000 or a research project with a faculty member. 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.760 We offer a great connection to arts-related internships and exhibition 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.320 opportunities through our partnerships with area 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.560 museums arts organizations and other cultural institutions. 0:09:18.560 --> 0:09:22.720 Our courses cover all historical periods and most of the world's cultures, 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.000 and they're taught by world-class guest artists, scholars, 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:29.760 and lecturers, and of course our outstanding faculty, 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.800 and we introduce our students to the work of artists, 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:38.720 architects, designers, and thinkers who have changed the course of history. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:43.360 Finally, we have our Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Education in the Arts, 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.680 or IDEAS. This degree is perfect for the renaissance person 0:09:47.680 --> 0:09:51.279 who's interested in studying a variety of subjects within the Art 0:09:51.279 --> 0:09:55.600 and Art History world. IDEAS is for future creative leaders 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.440 who are prepared to think and work both critically and creatively 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.040 in preparation for cutting-edge, multi-faceted careers 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.880 linking the arts to each other within a context that includes the emerging 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.959 digital landscape. The courses cover all areas of study 0:10:10.959 --> 0:10:14.160 offered across the college, as well as general education and 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:18.079 foundational courses, and digital design courses in your third 0:10:18.079 --> 0:10:21.839 year. The program ends in a capstone project 0:10:21.839 --> 0:10:26.320 that uses all of these elements, and is created individually with the 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:30.320 support of a faculty mentor. 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.680 This degree is designed to be either a two-year or 0:10:33.680 --> 0:10:37.040 a four-year degree making it an ideal option 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:42.000 for a transfer student or a first-year student. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.880 IDEAS courses examine creativity as an engine of change 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.560 linking each medium to the next in the visual arts, design, 0:10:50.560 --> 0:10:54.079 architecture, theater, music, exhibition studies, 0:10:54.079 --> 0:11:00.000 and the history and theory of the arts, with mentoring and the capstone project. 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.040 The IDEAS major is trained for one or more of these 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:07.519 exciting fields: interdisciplinary design, arts, sound or 0:11:07.519 --> 0:11:11.360 visualization research; marketing and communications; art, 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:16.399 architecture, or design criticism; material or digital fabrication; fine 0:11:16.399 --> 0:11:22.480 arts or entertainment administration; and also cultural entrepreneurship. 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:28.399 Next we have our School of Design. The main degree program offered here is 0:11:28.399 --> 0:11:33.360 a four-year Bachelor of Design. The Bachelor of Design is a newer degree 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.519 program, similar to a BFA, but indicating 0:11:37.519 --> 0:11:41.360 intense rigor, sequence, and specificity of skill 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:45.120 in the field with which the student will graduate. 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.640 This is a four-year program with a focus on either graphic 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:54.000 or industrial design only. We also offer a Bachelor of Arts in Design Studies, 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:58.240 which is a three-year program. There is no portfolio required to apply 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.600 to any of the undergraduate programs in the School of Design. 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.360 We also offer a Master of Design in our two focus areas, 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.560 and an International Master of Design in Graphic Design 0:12:08.560 --> 0:12:13.040 at our sister school in Basel, Switzerland. 0:12:13.680 --> 0:12:17.760 The design program is on a very specific four-year sequence track, 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.920 beginning with a foundational year and all design students take the same first 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:26.399 year classes, including creating a portfolio that is 0:12:26.399 --> 0:12:31.279 reviewed by the faculty at the end of year one. Upon presenting 0:12:31.279 --> 0:12:34.720 this portfolio to the faculty you'll then be able to 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.560 declare your major graphic design or industrial design for 0:12:38.560 --> 0:12:42.959 full acceptance into the program. Graphic design 0:12:42.959 --> 0:12:48.480 makes ideas visible. It is a nuanced visual language that conveys concrete 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:52.160 ideas by abstract means, combining the art of 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.440 typography with the skillful rendering of signs, 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.760 symbols, and images. Graphic design works from foundations, to 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:04.880 forms and systems, expressions and interactions, to an 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:11.200 options year in year four. Industrial design makes ideas tangible. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:16.639 It is at root the conceptual and material articulation and fabrication of 0:13:16.639 --> 0:13:20.560 usable objects, things that fulfill a need, or gratify a 0:13:20.560 --> 0:13:24.079 desire, or make a statement; things relevant to 0:13:24.079 --> 0:13:28.639 the present day. Industrial design moves from foundations, 0:13:28.639 --> 0:13:36.399 to skills, problems and systems, and finally options. The options year is 0:13:36.399 --> 0:13:39.680 a particularly exciting year in our design program. 0:13:39.680 --> 0:13:45.680 Studio courses take two distinct paths; personal and professional. The personal 0:13:45.680 --> 0:13:48.480 track is the creation of a senior thesis which 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.760 is a year-long independent research and design project 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:56.560 that you work on under the mentorship of faculty. The professional path is a 0:13:56.560 --> 0:14:00.839 team-based year-long project with a client from the industry or the 0:14:00.839 --> 0:14:05.519 university. This is a unique opportunity to not only showcase your skills to a 0:14:05.519 --> 0:14:08.959 potential employer, but collaborate with other fields and 0:14:08.959 --> 0:14:12.639 students across the university. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:17.199 Some areas of exploration have been, interdisciplinary product development, 0:14:17.199 --> 0:14:21.279 interdisciplinary communication development, bioengineering product 0:14:21.279 --> 0:14:24.480 development, entrepreneurial product development, 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:30.320 design thinking and leadership practice, and mobile app design. The Bachelor of 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.600 Arts in Design Studies is for the student who's coming to 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.600 design later in their academic career and has a general interest in both 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:42.880 graphic and industrial design. Drawing on the diverse resources of the 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.720 research university, the BA integrates studio-based methods 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:51.360 of graphic design and industrial design with explorations across the sciences 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.440 and humanities.
