Students who wish to earn a BA or BFA degree in Art* need to pass the SVS Portfolio Review. This review is required for graduation.

A student must have completed work in the four (4) main Foundations courses before submitting a portfolio (they may be currently enrolled in those classes the semester they submit). Students must also provide a written statement along with the portfolio.

These are the required courses:

ART_VS 1020 -  Introduction to Visual Studies

ART_VS 1030 – 2D Materials and Methods

ART_VS 1040 – 3D Materials and Methods

ART_VS 1050 – Drawing Materials and Methods

Students may include additional artwork created outside of class or from classes beyond the three required courses, but that is entirely optional.

For more information on the portfolio, view the Portfolio Review Overview Video embedded on this page. For any further questions or concerns, email Professor Matt Ballou Who administers the SVS Portfolio Review.

*Graphic Design majors have an additional Portfolio Review. Please email Professor Ric Wilson for more information.
