EAD Preparation is a 12-week program (16 hours per week) for English Language Learners (ELLs). In this program students will work with experienced art and design instructors and language coaches to build academic language skills that are specific to art and design. Students will learn about Canadian and OCAD U-specific classroom cultures and expectations. Successful completion of EAD Preparation qualifies learners for their next program (EAD Bridge To First Year).
