Students applying for the visual arts program must submit a portfolio. The submission of a CD selection of representative student work is the most important part of the admissions process and will be reviewed by the entire visual arts faculty. The portfolio should represent creativity, potential for artistic growth, dedication to art making and hard work, and offer evidence that the student has looked at and read about art and its history. The CD portfolio should reflect accomplishments and strengths. Whether the CD portfolio includes a broad range of media or concentrates on only a few, it should suggest that the student will be successful in the visual arts courses, including those which introduce new materials and ideas. Please contact the visual arts department for specific admission requirements. Acceptance into the bachelor of fine arts (B.F.A.) degree program does not guarantee admittance into the design concentration. The design concentration is limited to 20 students who are selected through a competitive design portfolio review during their sophomore year of the B.F.A. program.
