I am a high school student and have never studied design. How do I present a portfolio without having the necessary coursework?
Although a portfolio is required for our five studio-based programs, a professional portfolio is not required. Many of our applicants have had art classes or participated in some type of art-for-fun experiences such as community art programs or Design Camp. The Admissions Committee is seeking creativity and problem-solving skills and will assess the applicant’s potential for study in design based on the work presented. The emphasis in the review is on the ideas presented, rather than on the finished product.
