Submit Your Portfolio
Show us your work!
Students in most majors must present a portfolio of their work as part of the application process. (The exceptions are Art History, Interior Design, and Furniture Design.) You can present your portfolio any time before or during the application process, but your application isn't complete until you’ve done so.
In this section you'll find an outline of the portfolio requirements along with some tips and guidelines on what we’re looking for in you and in your work.
Private portfolio reviews
To schedule a portfolio review, call 616.451.2787 or 800.676.ARTS or check out the schedule your portfolio page for more information. Our admissions team will sit down to talk with you about the work you’ve done and what you’d like to do in the future.
Other review opportunities
We review portfolios during visits to area high schools (ask your art teacher), as well as at National Portfolio Days at colleges throughout the US and Canada. Learn more about National Portfolio Day and find one near you.
