ARCHITECTURE SUMMER PROGRAM UPDATE
Last week, ARCHCareersGuide.com received an update from RISD related to their summer program:
COVID-19 Information for RISD Pre-College
“Given the uncertain projections for when COVID-19 will slow, we have decided the most responsible course of action for summer is to not hold any programming on campus or in-person. We have made the difficult decision to officially cancel the 2020 RISD Pre-College program.”
As a result of receiving this update, ARCHCareersGuide.com contacted each of the summer programs in the Summer 2020 listing to determine if the COVID-19 would be impacting their program.
Perhaps not surprising, additional programs have cancelled their program for the summer (list below); in addition, some programs have converted their program to online instruction. And, finally, many programs are still planning to host their program while others are waiting until later (early May) to make their final decision.
At this point during the spring, I would HIGHLY suggest you contact the program to determine their plans for the summer before registering per the deadline. Many may still host their program, but you want to know everying prior to your full registration.
