Meet Ringling College Admissions counselors and get feedback on your portfolio.
Each year, Ringling College of Art and Design attends National Portfolio Days around the country. These events take place throughout the fall and into January. They are free to attend and open to the public.
The event offers prospective students an opportunity to speak with accredited art and design colleges across the U.S. and beyond to get feedback on their portfolios. Representatives from counselors to alumni and faculty will give valuable feedback, share their experiences, and guidance on student portfolios. Some colleges and universities will accept this review as the visual portion of an enrollment application. Check the official NPD website for the full list of events.
Ringling College is an annual National Portfolio Day host. Join us to meet one-on-one with representatives from dozens of accredited colleges. Visitors can tour our campus and meet with Financial Aid and Career Services representatives.
