SAIC Days and One-On-One Meetings
SAIC Days are special 3-hour events that take place in select cities from September - November. These events are perfect opportunities to get one-on-one feedback on your portfolio, meet with SAIC faculty and staff, and learn more about our interdisciplinary curriculum.
One-on-one meetings give you individual time with an admissions counselor to get feedback on your portfolio, or just ask any questions you may have!
Check back this summer to see the fall 2023 schedule.
