For B.F.A. portfolios an additional statement of the student's reasons for applying for the B.F.A., tentative career goals, etc., is also requested. Reproductions of 6 works of art. Reproductions may be laser prints, photographs, slides, CD-ROM, high quality photocopies, or a URL, and should be of a quality to give the most faithful idea of the art possible. DO NOT send original paintings, drawings, etc. Clearly label each image with your name, its title, medium, size and date made.
Quality is more important than medium in choosing work to include.
B.F.A. applicants who are transferring from other colleges and universities should include only work completed in the last year. We look for evidence of talent and originality in all portfolios. In BFA applicants, we seek promise of success in the program, and the ability and desire to produce a portfolio of entry-level graduate school quality by the time of graduation. Stamped, self-addressed return envelope if you want the portfolio back. Note that portfolios of admitted students who enter DU are kept on file.
