ADMISSION
METHOD OF ADMISSION IS A MATTER OF PRIMARY CONCERN TO THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY ART INSTITUTE. ITS
UNIQUE PROGRAM OF STUDY AND FACILITIES FOR WORK ARE
SUCH AS TO DEMAND OF THE PROSPECTIVE STUDENT THE HIGHEST QUALITIES OF CHARACTER, INTELLIGENCE AND APPLICAT ION.
ONLY CANDIDATES AT THE THIRD YEAR ART STUDENT OR
THIRD YEAR COLLEGE LEVEL OR THE EQUIVALENT IN DEMONSTRATED ABILITY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ADMISSION; AND ONLY
UPON APPROVAL BY THE DIRECTOR MAY STUDENTS ENTER FOR
COURSES OTHER THAN THE DEGREE COURSES.
CANDIDATES APPLYING FROM A DISTANCE MUST HAVE A
TRANSCRIPT FROM WHATEVER SCHOOL OR COLLEGE LAST ATTENDED; THEY SHOULD SEND A PORTFOLIO OF NOT LESS THAN
SIX EXAMPLES OF THEIR WORK, OR PHOTOGRAPHS, WHERE ORIGINAL WORK BECAUSE OF ITS NATURE OR SOME OTHER PERTINENT
REASON, CANNOT BE SENT. ENCOURAGEMENT, TO APPLY OR TO
THE CONTRARY, WILL BE IMMEDIATELY FORTHCOMING ON THE

WHEREVER POSSIBLE, A PERSONAL INTERVIEW WILL LIKEWISE BE NECESSARY. ALL CANDIDATES SHOULD SEND FOR ADMISSION BLANKS.

DIRECTOR. STUDENTS ENTERING LATE WILL BE EXPECTED TO
MAKE UP ALL REQUIRED WORK.
