Are you interested in applying to the BADAS program this year? Prospective students can learn more about the application process and have their portfolio reviewed by faculty, student ambassadors, and staff at the Digital Worlds Institute's annual Portfolio Open House event. Digital Worlds requires a portfolio representing foundational skills across three primary areas, digital design, time-based media, and interactive media and coding.

Portfolio Open House
February 19th, 2024
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Portfolio Open House is an entirely virtual event. Between 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM, a "Home-Room" style zoom meeting will serve as a waiting room between review sessions with faculty. Participants can join and leave this meeting as they please. In Home-Room, staff and student ambassadors will present about admissions/portfolio requirements and answer questions. Simultaneously, the reviewers will have separately scheduled zoom meetings (signup below) with participants one-on-one. Throughout the event, participants will jump between Home-Room and portfolio review sessions.
