Prospectives FAQ

Does application to UMW and the studio art program require a portfolio?

No. A portfolio of work is not required to either apply to the University of Mary Washington or declare as a major in studio art. Once declared as majors, studio art students are required to submit a portfolio for Major Assessment by their junior year (of work completed in the major).

Does more than one course share a studio in the same semester?

At this time, only one course meets in a studio for the majority of upper-level studio art courses (including drawing, painting, and printmaking). This allows for ample storage space within the studio and more time to work on projects outside of class.
