A portfolio conveys an applicant’s visual awareness and reflects their potential for success in design education. The Hillier College of Architecture and Design (HCAD) considers the portfolio as only one of a number of factors when evaluating a candidate for admission, and is required. In some instances, a strong portfolio may make the difference in an admission decision.

Virtual Portfolio feedback sessions are helpful when preparing your portfolio for review. Hillier College hosts frequent portfolio review sessions for both graduate and undergraduate students who are considering applying, all levels of interest welcome. Sign up here. Please note, a portfolio feedback session is to review your work prior to the submission of your application. This is an informal review and will not determine your admission into the program.
