PRICING
As part of our mission to empower and promote careers in design and creation, we provide university curricula within reach. For this reason, we have carefully studied our fees and we offer all tools and materials on the house.
We understand that you need to plan for your studies.
FIRST THINGS FIRST. YOU MUST KNOW THAT, WHETHER YOU ARE A CERTIFICATE OR A NON-CERTIFICATE STUDENT, YOU ARE ONLY REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE COURSE(S) YOU TAKE.
ACTUAL PAYMENT IS MADE ON COURSE-BY-COURSE BASIS, ONCE EVERY TERM. Each term lasts for 6 weeks. Course fees vary as follows:
• Jewelry Making – 190-470 usd
• Textile Design – 190-350 usd
• Business for Creatives – 220-450 usd
The above fees cover four to six weeks of instruction (depending on the class) and also include all tools and materials needed in class. Payment is due upon registration into your course(s). IT IS NON-REFUNDABLE. Credit is kept for you for future courses or used to cover your seat in case you cancel 24 hours before class starts.
NOTE: Our certificate programs take one to two years to be completed, depending on your financial and schedule preference. They cost, IN THEIR TOTALITY, BY THE END OF 1 TO 2 YEARS OF STUDIES:
• Jewelry Making – 3,880 usd
• Textile Design – 3,330 usd
• Business Lab – 3,750 usd
The above cover core requirements and electives. They also include access to a variety of resources and opportunities.
If you pay your entire certificate fee upfront, we subtract 10 percent of your tuition. In this case, you will pay:
• Jewelry Making – 3,492 usd
• Textile Design – 2,997 usd
• Business Lab – 3,375 usd
If you do not wish to commit to an entire certificate, this option is for you. The courses that make up each of the three certificates are open individually to the public. They cover 12-18 hours, and are offered once a week over four to six weeks (depending on the course). Courses rotate every term, offering you a variety of options.
Enrolling in a course allows you to experiment with the medium or topic before you commit to an entire program. However, it does NOT give you access to any of the resources available to certificate students exclusively. Also, registration priority is given to certificate students.
Course prices vary between 190 USD and 470 USD per person, all tools included.
For more information, check the INDIVIDUAL COURSES tab.
Private courses are customized for you, arranged by our staff to fit your schedule and topical preferences. They cover any subject you wish to address in art and design, including topics outside the certificate programs.
Private courses meet for 7.5 hours and cost 280-300 USD per person, all tools included.
Workshops are one-time sessions, open to everyone. The workshops offer a variety of specialized subjects, such as mosaics, painting, crochet, macrame and more.
