Graduate School Applications
Art majors frequently go on to graduate work in creative disciplines, and while this is not the primary goal of our program we do everything possible to challenge students with such plans and to advise them appropriately. While some seniors apply directly to graduate programs, most spend several years after graduation developing a portfolio and researching specific programs to ensure an appropriate match. We encourage this, as added maturity and experience generally make a candidate more compelling to competitive graduate programs and ensure that the experience will be rewarding. Young alumni engaged in graduate study are frequently brought to campus to speak with our current students about their experiences.
Graduates wishing to have faculty here write letters of recommendation for them are advised to make contact with us early in the process to ensure that deadlines are met and that we have sufficient updated materials. These would include letters of application, slide portfolios, etc.
