New Help for Those Applying to Art and Design Colleges

New firm helps students applying to art colleges by providing portfolio development guidance and objective information about art colleges.

(PRWEB) October 17, 2005 -- Now students applying to leading art and design colleges can find personalized guidance through Art + Design Educational Advisors, LLC. This firm helps students develop their admissions portfolio and also assists them in finding colleges which are a "good fit" for their interests and goals.

While independent college admissions consultants have long been available to assist students seeking admission to top-ranked colleges, Art + Design Educational Advisors, LLC, is the first to focus on the specific needs of art students.

Patricia Boman, firm founder and Managing Partner, stated, "We are dedicated to the success of each of our students." She adds, "We want to make sure students receive the education they need to get an art or design job after graduation."

A strong art portfolio is critical to acceptance at a selective art college. Boman states, "Some art colleges accept fewer than 50% of the students who apply." For this reason portfolio development is a primary service offered by Art + Design Educational Advisors, LLC. The firm's portfolio development services include:

• initial portfolio assessment

• tutoring to strengthen basic skills and develop new portfolio projects

• selection of portfolio contents

Art + Design Educational Advisors, LLC assists students applying to BFA or MFA programs.

Boman earned a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and a MFA from Yale University.
