Portfolio Review Dates for 2009 - 2010
Below are five On-campus Portfolio Days for Incoming Freshman, current BGSU students, and Transfer students. Portfolio approval is necessary to study as a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) student in the [School of Art]. Registration is required only if you wish to have an official portfolio review. Registration is not required to attend presentations and tours with no portfolio review. Visitors are encouraged to join us to become familiar with the BGSU [School of Art].
In Fall 2009, we may be in a city near you. Visit us at these four National Portfolio Days for an official portfolio review or to receive valuable feedback on the development of your portfolio.
