No portfolio required

Incoming Eskenazi School students are not required to submit a portfolio with their IUB application for admission. In keeping with the liberal arts philosophy, we give students the opportunity to develop their technical skills, broaden their theoretical and historical knowledge, and reach their full creative potential while completing coursework in their major of choice.

The B.F.A. in Studio Art is the only degree that requires a portfolio review. This review is usually held in the sophomore year once a student has a strong commitment to intensive study in one studio area.

Our incoming, first year student scholarships require a portfolio review for consideration and awarding. You may review those scholarships here.
