International Student Portfolio Preparation (F1 Visa)

This track offers introductory-level visual arts classes to give you a chance to explore the basics in various subjects. The classes are great for students without any art experience who want to foster their interest as a hobby without an intention to apply to college, art schools, or universities.

This track offers two different options: Undergraduate Level and Graduate Level. The classes are for students with the intention to build art portfolios for their own objectives.

The Undergraduate Level is great if you are looking to build an art/design portfolio to apply to art college OR for any other purposes that require a portfolio at an equivalent level.

The Graduate Level is great if you are looking to build an art/design portfolio to apply to a Master’s degree in art program OR for any other purposes that require a portfolio at an equivalent level.

Practices & Critique is designed to prepare a student pursuing the art/design field with strategies and practices. The classes will focus on critique, discussions, and/or further work development to give more understanding of living as an artist in the world and of mediating a creative life outside of school.

In order to enroll in this track, the student must have completed minimum 2 quarters of Track 2 (Core Portfolio Prep) AND complete the application process. Those who are deemed qualified and meet all the criteria will be accepted into this track.
