Summertime on the RISD campus means that the Pre-College Program must be here as well. The RISD Pre-College Program is designed to give high school students an introduction to the college art school experience. For six weeks, you follow a college-like studio curriculum, and live in RISD residence halls. The course of study is focused, serious, challenging, and a lot of fun. Basically it’s a chance to be a RISD student for six weeks, see if you like our campus, and make some great artwork.
This program can provide an excellent way to prepare a strong works of art that can later be used as a competitive portfolio for applications to schools like RISD. You can learn more about out Pre-College program here.
A special opportunity for Pre-College students is a chance for a portfolio review here in the Admissions Office. In general we are not able to provide reviews of portfolios in the Admissions Office due to the our limited staff and travel obligations. This provides an opportunity for feedback that can help Pre-College students look at their artwork from the summer and get the Admissions perspective. This option is available to students who arrange an appointment with us during the weeks they are here in the Pre-College program.
If you are a rising high school sophomore or Junior, keep this mind if you find your way to the Pre-College program next summer. It’s a great way to get a little leap on your RISD application plans.
