Graduate Portfolio Requirements
Portfolio Requirements
All applicants are required to submit a portfolio of 15–20 examples of recent work.
Art Education & Studio Teaching
Portfolios should indicate drawing ability as well as strength in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional media, including printmaking and ceramics. Portfolios may be submitted in slide or CD format.
Graphic Design
Portfolios should include at least 15 examples of the student's best graphic design work. Although some of the images can be taken from other disciplines such as architecture, the majority must be in computer-based graphic design. Portfolios may be submitted in CD or slide format. The graphic design faculty reserves the right to request that students complete certain courses as prerequisites.
Painting
Slides should include paintings and drawings that indicate the applicant's particular interests in subject matter and/or stylistic direction. Most successful applicants have spent at least one year painting independently after the completion of their undergraduate degree. The graduate painting department prefers that portfolios be submitted in a slide carousel (portfolios in CD format are NOT acceptable). Applicants unable to obtain a carousel should submit their portfolios in slide sheets. The painting faculty may request additional samples of work or require certain courses as prerequisites.
Sculpture
The sculpture faculty evaluates slide portfolios based on evidence of a solid body of work that displays consistency, seriousness, and depth of purpose. Acceptance is based on the faculty's determination that an applicant can develop artistically within the context of the School's program. Supplemental photographs and other visual materials are acceptable.
