MFA Graduate Portfolio Review

Each year students make a professional portfolio presentation to the faculty. The purposes of this presentation are:

To serve as an assessment of the student's professional development.

To impress upon the student the importance of having a current portfolio reflecting their professional work and achievements.

To prepare the student for the experience of presenting themselves and their work to prospective employers.

Typically performance faculty attends director's portfolio reviews and design faculty attends designer's portfolio reviews. However, any faculty may attend any review. Students are expected to dress for the presentation and comport yourself as you would for an actual job interview.

The Portfolio Presentations are typically scheduled at the beginning of the Spring semester. Director and designer reviews are scheduled separately.
