Students are invited to submit a short, self-made introductory video. Please speak to the following:
- The most important reason you are motivated to study your chosen area of focus.
- At least one goal you hope to achieve in your graduate education.
- The reason you think that MCAD is the best place to achieve your goals.
Use whatever tools available to you (e.g. 电话, laptop—high production value is not expected) to create a video no more than three minutes in duration. If you have questions about the video, or have a barrier to producing one (internet connection, 设备, 等.), please reach out to admissions@backgammonspielen.net. Think of this video as the beginning of a conversation that will continue if you enter a graduate program.
