PORTFOLIO SUBMISSIONS FOR ADMITTANCE TO
BA/BS IN ARTS TECHNOLOGY

You must submit:
  1. Letter of application stating your interest and what track (Art, Music or Theatre) you will emphasize
  2. Writing sample: may be poems, short story, script, or an essay. If you wish, you may write on what you think the role of an arts technologist in the 21st century will be (this is only a suggestion for those who don’t have writing samples at the ready)
  3. A resume and/or examples of work relevant to what you would be studying as an Arts Technology major. Please submit 3-5 pieces. Your letter of application should provide the context for presenting this work. The portfolio will include some of the following, depending on your interest and experience:
    • drawings
    • website
    • musical composition
    • musical performance
    • theatre resume
    • sketches of theatre design work
    • digital audio samples
    • painting
    • photography
    • multimedia work

Students interested in the music concentration may also be asked to audition or interview to assess their readiness for courses in music theory.

If you are submitting your work in digital format (not required), please make it readable on both Mac and PC, and present it on a zip disc, CD or a DVD.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND when selecting your materials:

  • this is a multi-disciplinary program (you will take classes in Art, Music and Theatre, as well as Arts Technology)
  • you will need to emphasize one track (Art, Music, or Theatre)

We will need to assess your potential success in all of your arts coursework, not just your technology classes.

Send your submissions to the attention of the “Arts Tech Undergraduate Admissions” at:
Program in Arts Technology
Campus Box 5600
Illinois State University
Normal, IL 61790

DEADLINE FOR FALL SUBMISSIONS IS FEBRUARY 1
