Announcing the Graduate Portfolio Day Events for 2008
Designed for prospective M.F.A., M.Arch. and M.A. students interested in studio-based graduate-level studio programs, the Graduate Portfolio Day events give students immediate feedback on their portfolios as suited to admission to an advanced course of study. In addition, prospective students have the opportunity to learn more about the curricula, faculty, application procedures and other information from twenty-four prestigious colleges and universities.
