1. Familiarize yourself with our Programs of Study We require that students

choose a major when they apply and that they submit a portfolio and essays specific to that major. So it is important to understand our programs of study and how they align with your creative ambitions.

2. Review the application and portfolio requirements

Admissions to STUST is major-specific. It is to gain a strong understanding of the specific application requirements, and portfolio requirements for the major in which you’re interested.

3. Connect with us

Schedule a time to deepen your knowledge of STUST and our admissions process : come to one of our events, or just call, email or text the Admissions Office with your questions. We’ll work with you to define next steps toward applying. As a prospective student, you will be paired with an Admissions Counselor you can reach out to with specific questions.

4. Choose a term

Based on the program to which you are interested in applying, there are two opportunities each year for you to enroll—Fall and Spring. Construct a timeline to apply that allows enough time to build your portfolio and complete the application process.

5. Acquire your transcripts and request applicable test scores

Transcripts and test scores (if applicable) are important components of your application. Unofficial transcripts can be uploaded as part of your online application if they list your full name and institution name on them. Once admitted, you will need to submit official transcripts to the Admissions Office prior to your matriculation.

6. Submit your portfolio, essays and an online application

Once your portfolio is ready, you can submit them through the online application. If you decide to submit your application before your portfolio and essays are finalized, you can upload them through the applicant portal.
