Admissions
The Process to get started
Our admissions process isn't just about forms and numbers and what you did in high school. It's about you, the individual. Yes, we look at your academic background and work. But we also take the time to sit down and find out what's important to you. We help you assess your career possibilities...what holds the most promise, what's realistic, and what isn't. Together we will define your goals and professional objectives.
A prospective student seeking admission to The Art Institute of Las Vegas must be a high school graduate, hold a General Educational Development (GED) certificate, or have earned a bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited institution of postsecondary education as a prerequisite for admissions. High School seniors who have not yet graduated should submit a partial transcript that indicates their expected graduation date.
As an applicant, you must create an original essay of at least 150 words stating how an education at The Art Institute of Las Vegas will help in attaining your career goals. Submission of a personal portfolio may be required, depending on your desired academic curriculum.
Each individual who seeks admission to The Art Institute of Las Vegas will be interviewed either in person or by telephone by an assistant director of admissions. The purpose of the interview is to: (1) explore the prospective new student's background interests as they relate to the programs offered at The Art Institute of Las Vegas; (2) assist prospective students to identify the appropriate area of study consistent with their background and interest, and (3) provide information concerning curriculum offerings and support services available at The Art Institute. The pre-admission interview is designed to assist in assessing whether the student has a reasonable chance of successfully completing the appropriate program of study.
All applicants are required to take the Accuplacer or provide satisfactory SAT or ACT scores to determine your preparedness for college-level English and/or mathematics.
