Other Requirements

Optional SAT/ACT Testing

A holistic review of each applicant is at the center of our approach to enrolling a diverse group of students that strengthens the UVM community. UVM does not require international students to send SAT or ACT scores as part of the application process. We also recognize the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly limited access to testing sites and resources. Therefore, all applicants including US citizens abroad are not required to submit standardized test scores for Fall 2021 through Fall 2023, but are welcome to do so if they feel it will contribute to their academic record. Both the Common Application and the Coalition Application allow you to indicate if you want your standardized test scores considered.

Students who choose not to submit test scores will not be disadvantaged in any way, as all applicants will be considered for admission, merit scholarships, and selection to the UVM Honors College.

  • UVM’s College Board/SAT Code: 3920

  • UVM ACT Code: 4322

Send your official scores to the University of Vermont (official only if submitted directly from the testing agency*). You may send results for all tests you take; our admissions evaluation will consider your highest scores.

*Students applying through the Coalition Application can upload scores directly through their application.

Optional Interview

International applicants are welcome to participate in an optional interview. The interview will be used as part of the holistic review process, and it will be one among many factors that will be considered when reviewing your application. Options to participate:

  • Online Platform: Vericant or InitialView

  • Personal interview with an International Admissions Team member

Course Information

The Studio Art program emphasizes art making as a form of creative inquiry taking place within a broad historical and cultural context. With a curriculum aimed at the development of visual skills, creative and critical reasoning, and comprehension of historical and contemporary contexts, the program prepares its students for a diversity of careers and graduate study in art. Students may take courses in drawing, ceramics, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, graphic design, digital art, and motion picture media. While classes are generally taught within these media studio areas, the overall curricular framework supports interdisciplinary understandings and approaches. With small classes taught by a dedicated and distinguished faculty, the Studio Art program offers dynamic and meaningful learning opportunities within the context of a broad liberal education at UVM.

As a Studio Art major you will have many opportunities available to you including gallery exhibitions in the department's Colburn Gallery or in galleries situated throughout the university's many public spaces. The department supports a variety of faculty-sponsored and independent internship opportunities, including partial funding support for select student internships at national and international sites. Through the Mollie Ruprecht Fund for Visual Art the Department hosts visiting artists who lecture and exhibit their artwork while interacting directly with students in roundtable and individual critique activities.

The studio areas that support students taking courses in studio art are largely available 24 hours a day. The studios include:

  • A drawing studio.

  • A ceramics studio for wheel-throwing and hand-building.

  • A painting studio.

  • A printmaking studio for etching, silkscreen, and relief processes.

  • A sculpture studio.

  • A fully equipped wood and metal shop.

  • A photography studio with silver-based darkrooms and a lighting studio.

  • Digital labs to support motion-picture, photographic printing, printmaking, graphic design.
