Art Center College of Design Admissions

Art Center College of Design accepts about 71% of applicants, making it less selective than most specialized art schools. This means talented artists with strong portfolios have good chances of admission, but the school still maintains standards. The college focuses heavily on portfolio review rather than test scores, looking for technical skill and creative vision in your work. Art Center wants students who are serious about commercial art and design careers, not fine art for its own sake. They seek driven individuals who can handle intensive studio work and want to create everything from movie concept art to car designs for major brands.
