Admission to the Department

Formal portfolio application for admission to the major is typically made after the end of the sophomore year, or, in the case of transfer students, at the conclusion of the first semester of enrollment at Saint Xavier University.

By the end of the junior year, students choosing either the Studio, Graphic Design or Art Education track will submit another portfolio showing the artistic direction in which they will concentrate for the two-semester senior seminar, to culminate in a professional group exhibition in SXU Gallery.

Those choosing to major in Art History will devote a comparable portion of their senior year to an independent research project which may result in the production of a substantial paper. Other senior project options include curating an SXU gallery exhibition or creating a thematically-defined Web site.
