Admission Events

As we continue to monitor the latest developments related to the novel coronavirus, our decision making and planning are guided by our sense of responsibility to protect the health and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff. Out of an abundance of caution, the Welcome Center at 72 Fifth Avenue is currently closed, and all activities, including campus tours, have been suspended until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

To safeguard our community from the coronavirus, Parsons Paris has taken thorough measures, including changing our campus status as recommended by French health authorities.

  National Portfolio Day: Prospective Undergraduate and Graduate Students
  All National Portfolio Days are virtual for fall 2020. Let us know if you'll be attending an upcoming event by completing the form for your desired date below. To learn more and formally register, visit the National Portfolio Day Association website.
  Saturday, November 22, 6:00-10:00 p.m. (Central European Time)
  National Portfolio Days are annual events held in multiple locations across the United States, Canada, and Europe. They are designed to provide a unique opportunity for you to meet individually with professional representatives of accredited colleges and universities and receive valuable feedback and guidance on your portfolio before you submit it as part of your application.
  No admission decisions or scholarship awards will be offered to you at National Portfolio Days. All representatives will be happy to discuss their programs of study and provide answers to questions about the availability of scholarships and financial aid.
  You will not find National Portfolio Days to be an examination or competition; the events are exchanges of information. The representatives want to learn about you, your work, and your post-secondary plans while informing you about their college or university and application requirements. These events may be the first time you have been in an environment with so many people in one place who all share a powerful commitment to art and design. Use this as an opportunity to be inspired, to gain advice on improving or presenting your portfolio, and to get a small taste of what it is like to attend a professional art and design program.
