The Academy of Art University has an open admissions policy, meaning it accepts all or most applicants who meet basic eligibility requirements. Unlike selective institutions, it does not publish a traditional acceptance rate. This approach aligns with its mission to provide accessible arts education.
Prospective students must submit an application, high school transcripts or equivalent, and may need to provide a portfolio depending on the program. The university emphasizes inclusivity, focusing on nurturing talent rather than competitive admissions. For specific program requirements, contacting the admissions office directly is recommended.
