The portfolio consists of either a collection of ten digital images or portfolio of ten physical works.
To apply for the Master of Arts degree please submit a portfolio, letter of intent, and artist statement on or before March 15th for Fall semester and October 15th for the Spring semester. The portfolio should contain no less than twenty quality digital images (.jpeg or .pdf) that demonstrate technical mastery, intellectual and artistic maturity, as well as the capacity to develop an idea through a series of work. Applicants should include a series of most recent work that indicates their current artistic direction. A written statement should accompany the portfolio, summarizing relevant issues in the current work and providing a sense of the direction the work might take during graduate study. Applicants should also include an image list that provides the title, date completed, medium and size of each image in the portfolio.
