When considering candidates for admission, the Endicott Admission Review Committee looks at the entire individual. In addition to reviewing the application and student essay, the Committee concentrates on the student’s academic record, personal recommendation(s), extra-curricular activities, and test scores. Additional consideration for admission is given to applicants who possess unusual strengths or accomplishments.
Endicott demonstrates a commitment to enrolling students from a wide geographic range as well as from all ethnic and racial heritages. We welcome applications without regard to race, religion, color, disability, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, marital status, pregnancy, sexual orientation, political belief, or prior military status.
Application Deadlines
Fall Admission: Freshmen students – February 15; Transfer and International students – March 15
Spring Admission: All students – December 15
We may continue to accept applications thereafter on a space-available basis; however some programs reach capacity early in the application cycle.

Art Portfolios
All students majoring in one of the Art and Design programs are required to submit a portfolio of their artwork for review by the School of Art and Design. The portfolio evaluation will augment the Admissions Application. The portfolio should include the following:
- 12-20 samples of your artwork in a PowerPoint presentation on a CD (do not send originals). Examples in various media are encouraged, such as drawing, ceramics, photography, drafting or graphics; rather than a concentration of images in one medium or discipline.
- One application-specific portfolio assignment. Choose one of the following: Please do not call the College for guidance regarding this assignment, as it will be used to assess your creative thinking and problem - solving abilities.
- The Center of the Universe, in any medium, or
- Self-portrait in any medium.
- Checklist description of artwork including medium, title, size, date, and software, if applicable.
- One-page statement which includes:
- Which degree, major and concentration are you applying for,
- Why you want to study art and design at Endicott College,
- What led to your interest in the visual and creative media.
This statement is in addition to, not in place of, the Admission Application essay.
- Statement releasing the College of liability in the event the materials are lost.
- Self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your CD.
Send materials by January 15 to: Portfolio Review, School of Art and Design, Endicott College, 376 Hale Street, Beverly, MA 01915.
Upon receipt of the portfolio, the Dean, Department Chair, and appropriate faculty will review the work. The evaluation will then be sent to the Admission Office as a supplemental assessment tool.
