For admission as a degree candidate, an applicant must have earned a baccalaureate degree from an accredited four-year college and have developed a portfolio of artwork in a representative range of media. This work must have been done within the last two years.

A formal portfolio presentation is required of all students applying for admission to the Master of Arts program: 12-15 examples of recent artwork are required. Original artwork is preferred to reproductions. We urge prospective candidates to present the portfolio in person, as this provides the student with an opportunity to meet some of the art faculty and to visit the studio facilities. Slide portfolios are also acceptable for those students from abroad or living at some distance from the University. (Click here for some helpful guidelines for photographing your work for your portfolio.)

Please visit the University Admissions site for more information on applying to the Graduate degree program in art.
