The Open House consists of an orientation, a guided tour of the facilities and an individual portfolio review by a faculty member or alumnus of the School of Art. The dates of the Open Houses are November 3, November 10, November 17 and December 1, 2000. Contact the Office of Admissions for further information about the Open Houses. Each year, professors at the School of Art also visit over 24 portfolio day events throughout the country sponsored by the National Portfolio Day Association . Like the Open Houses, portfolio days are not a formal part of the admissions process but they often play a role in successful applications.
Art work is reviewed by faculty members and alumni who advise potential art students.
