Critical Practice 1HCRT-100X 3 units $720Understand how images—whether successful or not—work to convey the intended meaning of the artist/designer to a desired audience. Rather than asking what images mean, the emphasis of this course will be to provide you with a basic visual vocabulary or rhetoric in order to understand how images work in a variety of contexts. In other words, you will learn the rhetoric—a form of persuasion that produces an intellectual and physical transformation in the viewer—of visual communication. Transferable.*

American Politics & MediaHSOC-301X 3 units $720Is the media liberal? Are all politicians in the pockets of corporations? Is dissent unpatriotic? Is the U.S. a nation to be loved? Or feared? Is it a democracy? An empire? Both? How are we, as citizens, to find our way through the rhetoric of the left, the right and the middle? How can we make sense of the increasing flood of political and cultural information that bursts from the internet, television, radio, newspapers and movies? Whom should we believe? This course seeks to provide the tools to help make sense of it all. Transferable.*

Introduction to Urban StudiesHSOC-271X 3 units $720If cities are collections of spaces and places shaped by human activity, are 21st-century cities the cure for today’s challenges? Or the cause? In this course, we will examine key issues of urban life, both past and present. We will explore the forces determining the proliferation, expansion, and even the decline of the urban form; study the connections between housing, transportation and urban politics; and spotlight the modern city in the global context by linking the urban to processes of migration, investment and environmental impact. We will also examine how people studied cities in the past and explore how might we study them now. Transferable.*

Nanotechnology + Design: Now to the FutureHSCI-233X 3 units $720Gain a holistic understanding of nanotechnology with no need for prior high-level scientific knowl-edge or mathematics. Lectures, discussions and hands-on experimental work, as well as guest ex-perts and a field trip to the California NanoSystems Institute, will immerse you in this exciting topic. Then, take what you have learned and relate it to your own life and art or design practice. For your final project, you will develop either: 1) A proposal for an original nanoscience research project; 2) A product that could be possible in the future due to developments in nanoscience/technology; or 3) An art project which uses or critically addresses nano-technology. Transferable.*

The DreamHSCI-235X 3 units $720Dreams create an experience of meaning. In this multidisciplinary course, we will explore the science of dreaming, the structure of a dream, and the way “dream logic” informs the work of writers, artists and filmmakers. Learn about the physiology of sleep and sleep disorders and the neurology and phenomenology of dream content. We will discuss earlier ways of analyzing content (i.e. Freudian analysis) as well as the contemporary scientific understanding of the narrative structure of dreams. We will also explore how artists translate dreams into artistic expressions and how artistic works can be accessed through the methods used in making meaning in dreams. Transferable.*

Intro To EntrepreneurshipHENT-100X 3 units $720Gain an understanding of how to create entrepre-neurial ventures from self-initiated projects. In this course, you will learn how artwork, design and products are developed from the entrepreneurial standpoint including how designs vary depending on the business context. In class, some students will choose to create a new company and develop a start-up strategy to evaluate its feasibility. Others will choose to create products, which can be two-dimensional graphics or illustrations applied to existing product categories; new stylistic designs; entertainment or media properties; brand concepts; or technical inventions. Transferable.*

Race And RacismHSOC-207X 3 units $720Current events make race and racism hard to ignore. This course takes a hard look at both the history and the present of race and racism in the Americas. We will ask a lot of questions: How is race socially constructed and experienced? What realities are created by the idea of race? What might racial justice look like? This class is not for the faint of heart—we will delve deeply into tough issues for which there are neither easy nor neat resolutions. Transferable.*

Human Rights Movements in the U.S.HSOC-331X 3 units $720What circumstances gave rise to the Civil Rights and human rights movements in the U.S.? How did minority groups—African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos/Chicanos, the LGBTQ community, and more—become aware of themselves as interest groups? What were their past and present goals and strategies? What were their challenges and successes? In this course, we will explore all these questions and more, as well as examine the events, actions, arts and expressions of these movements created both by their members as well as by the dominant culture. Prerequisite: Writing Studio or completion of a college-level English composition course with a grade of B or better. Transferable.*

Future of Science & TechnologyHSCI-216X 3 units $720The future isn't something that simply happens, but something that can and should be shaped by people with vision. In this course, we will study the basic science behind the upcoming revolutions in biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and quantum science, in order to develop a shared vision of a desirable future. Topics include: robotics and artificial intelligence; quantum, nano, and biotechnology; future energy sources; and mankind's possible future in space.

Policies and ProceduresThe ACX Student Guide is a complete guide to our policies, procedures and important information. For a digital copy, please visit the “Need to Know” page at artcenter.edu/acx. Copies are also available in the ACX office at South Campus (950).

Dismissal PolicyAt its sole discretion, ArtCenter Extension (ACX) reserves the right to dismiss or refuse enrollment to any student whose conduct fails to comply with the policies, rules and standards of the College. Please see pages 24 – 31 of the 2019 Student Guide for details.

ACX also reserves the right to refuse enrollment to any student who owes a past due balance to ACX or ArtCenter College of Design.

Course CreditCourse credit is awarded for completion of all ACX courses, with the exception of noncredit workshops. The number of credits given is listed next to each course title. Inquiries regarding the transferability of credits to another institution should be directed to that institution.


7978Transferable Courses Some foundation courses offered through ACX parallel the content of those offered in ArtCenter’s full-time bachelor’s degree program. These courses are marked as transferable in the course description and are eligible for transfer to the College’s degree program with a grade of B or better. Students apply-ing to the degree program may carry these credits with them, depending upon the major to which they are applying, and the transfer policy in effect at the time of admission. Students should select courses based on the appropriateness of the course to their chosen goals and not necessarily based on transferability.

For Current ArtCenter Degree-Program StudentsACX course credits will NOT transfer toward your degree. Grades, however, will appear on ACX transcripts.

GradesGrades are posted online at artcenter.edu/acx to your ArtCenter student account. To access your grades via the website, login to your account using your username and password, then go to “My Account” and select “My Grades.”

Letter grades (A–F) are assigned to classes with units listed. A grade of "N" may be given to students who fail a course due to non-attendance (Non-Attendance Failure). The N grade has the same GPA impact as an F grade, but specifically indicates that non-attendance was the cause of the failure. As is the case with F grades, students may retake a course in which they received an N to replace it in the cumulative GPA. The original N grade must still appear on the transcript, but it will be denoted with an asterisk (*) to show that it has been repeated in a subsequent term, and the GPA will be adjusted to reflect the repeated course’s grade.

Note: ACX students are required to register and pay the full course tuition (and any required lab or materials fees) in order to retake a course.

Our students challenge boundaries and take risks, preparing them to realize success and fulfillment in the world of art and design— and beyond.

Operating out of two campuses in Pasadena, ArtCenter offers 11 undergraduate degrees and seven graduate degrees, as well as an extension program that serves the larger Southern California community.

Hillside CampusLocated on 175 wooded acres in the foothills above the Rose Bowl, ArtCenter’s Hillside Campus has been home to ArtCenter since 1976. The main building, designated a local historic monument by the City of Pasadena, is a dramatic steel-and-glass bridge structure designed by Craig Ellwood Associates.

Hillside Campus houses many of the College’s undergraduate programs, as well as its gradu-ate Environmental Design, Film, Industrial Design and Transportation Systems and Design programs.

South CampusConveniently located near the METRO Gold Line Fillmore station in Pasadena, ArtCenter's South Campus encompasses three sustainably renovated facilities: the 950 building, a 100,000-square-foot former supersonic wind tunnel redesigned by architect Kevin Daly, is home to the College’s extension program, Archetype Press letterpress printing facility, and its graduate Art, Graphic Design and Media Design Practices programs; the 870 building, a former U.S. Postal Service facility redesigned by Darin Johnstone Architecture, is home to the College’s Fine Art and Illustration programs; and the 1111 building, a former office building, is home to the College's Advertising and Graphic Design programs, and continues to transform into a hub of modern classrooms and adminis-trative offices located at the terminus of the historic Arroyo Seco Parkway, the symbolic gateway to Pasadena.

A leader in art and design education for nearly 90 years, ArtCenter College of Design offers a rigorous and transdisciplinary curriculum, an expert faculty of practicing artists and designers, strong ties to industry and a commitment to socially responsible design.
