Pre-College Online Program Overview RISD Pre-College Online is a 5-week summer immersive art and design program which offers intensive, collegiate-level courses for students in grades 10–12 (or the equivalent). You’ll join students from around the world in online studio classes and critiques led by accomplished professional artists. With a commitment of two days of classes each week and flexibility to complete your assignments, you can have time to work or pursue other interests while developing your skills, building a portfolio, and preparing to study art or design in college. One of the hallmarks of a RISD undergraduate education is first year Experimental + Foundation Studies which is designed to push students' creative observation, experimentation and interpretation abilities. Following suit, RISD's Pre-College curriculum places a strong emphasis on foundation work that builds critical thinking and making skills, but for younger students. RISD Pre-College Online accepts students regardless of their previous training, and as a result each class has students with a range of abilities. While Pre-College is not exclusively a portfolio development program, students leave with several artworks that they may include in their college applications. Pre-College Online students receive support with their college plans by consulting with their instructors and teaching assistants on college and career options, and they are able to attend portfolio reviews hosted by RISD Admissions.
