How might we support Chinese students in acquiring the information necessary for making a successful application to a U.S. art and design school?

Abstract

This research focuses on building a platform to support Chinese students in acquiring necessary information for making a successful application to a U.S. art and design school. The methodological framework of the proposed research is developed based on Dr. Min Basadur's "Simplex Process" (Basadur, 1994) design thinking method, which collects user data through a people-centered design research process. The objective of the proposed research is to support the needs of Chinese students in applying to U.S. art and design schools.
