Do you have a skill/talent in the creative or performing arts? Are you interested in studying or applying that skill/talent at the college level?

If so, submit a sample of your work for review by our faculty in the music, art, photography, theatre or dance programs! Samples should be submitted on or before the application deadline.

Please refer to the following guidelines when completing your Creative and Performing Arts supplement.

Audio or visual media files may be included in your application and must be submitted through a Slideroom account in conjunction with the related questions on the Common App.
You may make a submission to multiple programs (Theatre, Music, Arts, Photography, Dance) under the same Slideroom account.
There are five media spaces provided for music, dance and theatre and 15 media slots for visual arts and photography. Utilize the number of media slots you feel will give us the best representation of you.
You may determine the length of your audio or visual recording as long as it fits in the allocated MBs provided for each individual media slot.
