Each applicant is reviewed individually with regard to his or her own experience, achievement and potential for artistic growth. A large part of the Admissions Committee's decision on your application will be based upon the evaluation of your portfolio and home exam. Significant consideration will also be given to your academic credentials. Many applicants have had substantial training in art on the high school or college level, while some have had little or none. Although Parsons recognizes the benefits of strong artistic preparation, some applicants are admitted after a review process that may emphasize their academic background more than their visual material.
Parsons seeks serious, responsible and highly motivated applicants.
A prospective student's potential for artistic achievement is one of the most important criteria in our evaluation of candidates considered for admission. To receive an undergraduate catalog, select the catalog cover on the upper left corner.
