UNDERGRADUATE and GRADUATE PORTFOLIO DAY SCHEDULE

The National Portfolio Day Association (NPDA - not associated with AICAD, though founded by AICAD members) oversees 37 Portfolio Days for undergraduate admission and three Graduate Portfolio Days around the U.S. and Canada. These events provide an opportunity for nearby students to discuss their portfolios and obtain admissions advice from the colleges in which they may be interested. Below is a listing of the Portfolio Day schedule for 2011-2012. Graduate Portfolio Days are in italics.

A majority of the participants in Portfolio Days are affiliated with AICAD. For further information you should contact the host college listed below, or the AICAD members with which you would like to meet.
