Applications meeting the Regular Deadline of January 5, 2009:

$70 for each domestic application / $85 for each international application

While the Janurary 5, 2009 deadline has passed, we are still accepting applications for Fall 2009.

Students applying online may submit their fee with a credit card or send a check or money order after submission. Those students applying with our downloadable application must submit a check or money order with their application. Applications received without payment will not be processed. Fee waiver requests must be submitted in writing, and should accompany the paper application, or be sent after applying online. CalArts will accept the standard College Board fee waiver, or a letter from a high school/transfer counselor who can verify family financial hardship. Fee waivers are generally not granted for MFA or International students.

We do not require a photography portfolio for admission. We can start you out at the beginning level, as many of our students come into the program with very little prior photography experience. If you have prior photographic experience, please bring your portfolio to share with your academic advisor, who wil examine it to help determine placement in classes. This might enable you to skip some of the preliminaries.
