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

We may continue to accept applications thereafter on a space-available basis; however some programs reach capacity early in the application cycle.

All applications should be printed or typed and signed and dated. All completed applications should be accompanied by a non-refundable application fee of $40, payable to Endicott College.

Arrange to have the following information sent along with your application or under separate cover:

This information is required by the United States government and will be held in the strictest confidence. SAT or ACT test scores are recommended, but not required.
Art Portfolios
All students applying to Creative Arts Therapy, Studio Art, Graphic Design, Photography, or Interior De 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 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:
- The Center of the Universe, in any medium, or
- Self-portrait in any medium.
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.
- Checklist description of artwork including medium, title, size, date, and software, if applicable.
- One-page statement which includes:
- What area you are interested in studying,
- Why you want to study art and design at Endicott,
- What led to your interest in the visual and creative media.
- 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.
