    Overview

    The Boston University School of Visual Arts’ Summer Institute offers high school students (ages 15–18) an intensive visual arts program designed to help build exceptional portfolios. 

    Whether preparing portfolios for college admission or simply working to improve technical abilities, students are introduced to materials and methods used in professional artistic practice. Students earn three college credits at the program’s completion, and leave the program with work ready to be included in their portfolios. VASI is a daytime program that does not provide housing. All students must be able to travel to and from campus Monday-Friday to attend classes.
