Course Overview

Our unique, international, limited-residency program was developed and directed by Robert Lyons for the engaged professional investigating art, documentary practice, and the photo-based book.

Our innovative program is designed for both mature individuals with established experience in the field and recent graduates who wish to further their practices. It differentiates itself from other programs by coupling intensive on-campus sessions in the summer with traveling spring and fall sessions.

On-campus learning combined with spring and fall travel enhances our ability to be a truly international program—from our students, to faculty, to off-premise meeting destinations. The art world is situated within a global market and our program is designed to access and utilize this enriching perspective.
