Admission to the program is competitive, and the number of qualified applicants may exceed the number of available enrollment spaces. Meeting minimum GPA requirements does not guarantee admission. The most important indicator of potential success in the program and profession is evident in the candidate’s portfolio work. Admission criteria focus on the quality of the portfolio submitted.
Applicants will be required to submit a complete application package including BAA application, transcripts, portfolio, and recommendations.
All recommenders selected by the candidates must use the official recommendation form. Applicants must refer their recommenders to the Recommendation Form, which can be downloaded, completed, and mailed directly to the Interior Design BAA Admissions office.
During the 2009-2010 academic year, there are two distinct BAA application periods and processes.
Application for admission in Winter or Spring 2010
Complete Application Package, including portfolio and recommendations, will be accepted beginning October 1, 2009, and must be received no later than November 2, 2009.
Application for admission beginning in Summer 2010
Application materials will be submitted in two stages:
Stage 1: Application form and fee, transcripts, essay and recommendations (without portfolios) will be accepted beginning December 1, 2009, and must be received no later than January 15, 2010.
Stage 2: Portfolios will be submitted separately, and accepted beginning March 1, 2010, and must be received no later than April 2, 2010.
