ADMISSIONS
Admissions
Applying to SAA is as easy as 1-2-3. Simply apply through an online form, and send your portfolio. Applications are accepted at any time throughout the year and students can start at the beginning of any term. (See Calendar Below)
There are no deadlines to apply; although, students are encouraged to apply at least six months in advance.
Even though the spots are limited, we manage to eventually find places for most applicants. Those who are not immediately invited to join the program may be put on the waitlist. Some applicants have said they hesitate to apply as "my work is not as good as the work by your students on your website". Our mission is to help achieve those same skills by providing the teaching and curriculum, no matter where you stand.
Transfer from other schools
Only students who come from schools that use the same methodologies as the Samsara Academy of Art can have previous years of study recognized as a part of the curriculum, and continue at the SAA from there. This decision is solely and exclusively the responsibility of the admissions department, based on the internal policy of the academy.
