BFA in Fashion Design

University Specific Question: Please be sure to respond to both parts of the following question: Syracuse University is a place that seeks to be welcoming to all – and has been since our founding. Explain why you are interested in Syracuse University and describe a personal experience in which you persevered through adversity, rejected discrimination, learned a lesson, or were inspired by the courageous actions of others and how you will apply what you learned to our community in a positive way.

All first-year and transfer applicants to the School of Design's B.F.A. and B.I.D. programs must submit a portfolio. The portfolio should be a collection of 12-20 images of your most recent work. The portfolio should represent your interests, highlight your ideas and conceptual abilities, demonstrate your technical skills, your willingness to experiment, and your commitment to visual expression and communication. You should select works that demonstrate the depth and breadth of your experiences. The composition of the portfolio should be balanced to emphasize your strengths and should consist of a variety of media and approaches. This may include examples related to your program of interest; for example, you may want to include examples of design, typography, textiles, perspective, fashion drawings, footwear, and furniture. You can include examples of assignment-based projects that are the product of instruction, but we also want to see work that reflects your individual ideas and direction outside of the classroom. Descriptions of the work submitted are strongly recommended to provide insight to your creative and conceptual thinking as well as the describe purpose/concept of your pieces. These descriptions should be added in the applicant portal during image upload.
