For students applying to College of Design programs, a portfolio of your work can tell us a great deal about your preparedness for your chosen major. Faculty in the College of Design review these portfolios along with your essays and provide valuable input during the admissions process. We hope that you take the time to carefully curate and craft your portfolio so that it is the best reflection of you and shows why Tech is the right place for you!

Our degree programs heavily emphasize creativity and the act of making, whether that be through drawings, physical prototypes, the design of instruments, or software development. A portfolio is an important way for you to demonstrate your creative and artistic skills that go beyond what can be captured through the application alone. When combined with your application essays, we will be able to see your aptitude and interests in your major interest of study.
