Although a portfolio is not required for undergraduate admission, a portfolio and/or a résumé/list of achievements is required for achievement scholarship consideration. SCAD accepts several types of portfolios, including visual art, time-based media, writing, equestrian and performing arts. Undergraduate portfolios do not have to be specific to an intended program of study at SCAD; students may select the type of portfolio that they feel will allow them to present their best work.
