SVA’s Pre-College Program is designed for high school

students who want to enhance their creative skills, learn more about a

particular field of art, develop a portfolio, and experience the challenges

and triumphs that exist at one of the most dynamic colleges. Courses

are taught by the same faculty of leading art professionals who teach in

SVA’s undergraduate degree programs. Students will explore the funda-

mentals of art and design at a level not readily available in high school.

Students will receive one college credit for successful completion of the

fall or spring programs and three credits for the successful completion

of the summer program. The fall and spring programs are open to all

students who will be enrolled in high school at the time of the program.

The summer program is an intensive three-week session in July, and

is open to students entering their senior, junior or sophomore year of

high school in the fall. Space is limited to approximately 20 students per

course and registration may be completed online. Please visit sva.edu/pc

and select the semester of interest to view the course offerings, course

descriptions and to register online. Registration is based on a first-come,

first-served basis. Application materials are not required to attend. Please

PORTFOLIO PRESENTATIONS FOR ENTRANCE TO AN ART COLLEGE:The care with which an applicant presents and discusses his/her work can play an important part in the admissions and scholarship decisions at art colleges. As a part of the Pre-College summer program, all students are invited to attend a Portfolio Workshop Presentation where admissions counselors will show examples of artwork submitted by previous SVA students as well as examples of scholarship-level artwork. Pre-College students gain a better understanding as to what they need to do to prepare for an admissions art portfolio if they decide to apply to an art college. Pre-College students are given the opportunity to show their art portfolio to an admissions counselor during the program to discuss ideas on how to evolve their personal concepts and art process in order to help build a stronger and more expressive portfolio.

NOTE: Pre-College courses may include the use of nude models. Curriculum and faculty are subject to change. Please visit sva.edu/pc for the most current details on course offerings and faculty.
