The Delaware College of Art and Design was founded as a creative partnership between the Pratt Institute and the Corcoran College of Art and is located within walking distance of the Wilmington train station (Amtrak and SEPTA). It is a short commute from Philadelphia and Baltimore by car. Now independently accredited by Middle States Commission on Higher Education and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), DCAD offers the Associates of Fine Arts degree in Animation, Fine Art, Graphic Design, Illustration, Interior Design, and Photography. The College's mission is to prepare students for transfer to other schools of art that offer BFA degrees; most students make the transition with full credit for the two years spent here. The A.F.A. curriculum requires a three-semester sequence in a survey of world art and a corresponding three-semester survey of world literature taught in conjunction with composition. In the fourth semester, students focus on topics related to their majors as well as pursue academic electives. Our goal is to find faculty with appropriate graduate training, relevant teaching experience, and the ability to engage our students in the study of their discipline.

Applicants should email CV, a letter of application, and a sample course description to: tparman@dcad.edu , No letters of recommendation at this time. Review of applications by the Academic Studies Search Committee begins November 2, 2009.
