Students typically complete the Core Design Program at the end of their first academic year. Students submit one set of application materials to apply to one or more programs in the College. Applications are due in May of each year, typically during the final days of the spring semester.

 

Application materials include an on-line application form, a written essay, and a portfolio of student work. Faculty teams from each program evaluate the materials of applicants. While all students submit the same materials, each program has its own set of admission criteria.
