Students applying for entry into the American Academy of Art must submit the completed application form. All applicants are required to have an interview with a representative of the school when they apply. Former students who are applying for re-entry into the same degree program from which they withdrew must coordinate with the Registrar rather than through the admissions office.
-
Only high school graduates or recipients of the G.E.D or a degree from an institution of higher learning may apply for and attend degree classes. An official transcript of grades must be sent directly from a high school and any post-secondary school attended to the American Academy of Art, Office of the Registrar, 332 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60604.
Students attending other postsecondary schools must have a 2.0 cumulative grade point average and be maintaining satisfactory academic progress to be accepted. All prospective transfer students will need to schedule an appointment with the Academic Dean for a transcript and portfolio review.
