==School of Extended Studies== [[File:NSCADU Seaport.jpg|thumb|Port Campus, designed by MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects of Halifax]] [[File:NSCAD LunenburgCampus.jpg|thumb|right|Lunenburg Community Residency building]] NSCAD has a long and distinguished history of offering the public the opportunity to study in a visual arts environment. The School of Extended Studies continues this tradition by offering the public a wide variety of non-credit studio and audit lecture courses in fine arts, media arts, craft and design. The School also manages the 30-credit Visual Arts Certificate for Teachers program, the 30-credit Visual Arts Certificate in Studio and the pre-university summer study credit program. Credit programs have admission requirements. Noncredit programs have no admission requirements although prerequisites must be met for some courses. === Adult Programs === The adult studio-based and audit lecture courses are available to individuals who are 16 years or older. These courses are designed to meet personal and professional development interests and to prepare for studies in an undergraduate visual arts degree program. Curricula incorporate skills, processes, and health and safety issues. New approaches and ways of seeing, analyzing, experimenting and problem solving through observation are promoted. To ensure program quality, planning is ongoing with other areas of NSCAD University. New courses are added regularly to introduce different subject matter and in response to public demand. === Children and Teen Programs === Saturday Children's Art Classes began in 1887 and are one of the earliest known examples of such programs in North America. Children in grades 1 β 6 participate in a variety of fun age-appropriate activities that introduce basic visual arts skills. Teen Art Studio courses for students in Grades 7 -12 introduce fundamental visual art skills and processes, introduce NSCAD facilities and provide older teens an opportunity to build a portfolio for admission to an undergraduate visual arts degree program. Saturday youth courses for ages 5β18 are offered during the spring, fall, and winter terms, and week-long camps are offered during summer. Week-long March Break camps are offered during the Provincial school break.<ref>{{Cite web | title=Home {{!}} NSCAD Extended Studies | url=https://make.nscad.ca/ | access-date=2025-05-30 | website=make.nscad.ca}}</ref> === Night Shift Exhibit === An annual Night Shift Exhibition to display student work completed in Extended Studies course is held in the Anna Leonowens Gallery located on the NSCAD Granville campus.
