Intensive Programs in the Visual Arts

Advanced students who wish to concentrate more than half of their coursework in the visual arts may apply to one of our intensive programs in drawing, graphic design, painting, photography, printmaking or sculpture.

A typical intensive program (8 credits per semester, for 15 to 20 class hours per week) consists of the following:

1. One Academic Course (history, theory…)
2. Two Art Courses
3. Research Project
4. Exhibit Attendance

Students in intensive programs also take one SLC seminar of their choice and a required French language course (see Sample Intensive Programs).

Intensive Programs in Graphic Design

MJM Graphic Design offers programs in video editing and 3D animation, enabling students to attain an autonomous and professional level of expertise.

Students in the editing program receive training in filming techniques (theory and practice), editing, special effects, general knowledge of the visual arts, exploration of cultural archetypes, 2D and 3D lighting techniques, etc.

3D animation students study the creation and animation of 3D images, based on the most advanced techniques, whether for animated cinema, special effects, television, or the creation of characters for video games: digital creation and animation, 2D, film analysis, modeling, texture and animation, etc.

MJM programs are full-year programs. In some cases, it is possible to study at MJM during the fall term only.
