Information Sessions & Tours
National Portfolio Day Virtual
The Corcoran School of the Arts and Design is a member of the National Portfolio Day Association, and this year, we will be participating in virtual National Portfolio Day (NPD) events. These events are completely online and are FREE to attend. Students have the opportunity to meet virtually with our faculty about their portfolio. Please note that admissions decisions are not made at these events. This is an opportunity to speak one-on-one with our faculty about your portfolio, our programs, and how to apply.
