The following info can easily be found on BC’s website under “The Application Process.”

OPTIONAL CREDENTIALS

Because we review the applications of so many artistically talented applicants, we are only able to review supplemental art, music, or theatre pieces for the applicants listed below. Applicants who do not intend to formally pursue their talents at the University, but for whom The Arts have been a large part of their lives, are encouraged to tell us about their experiences in the “Short Answer” section of the Common Application.

* For applicants to the Studio Art Major: A Fine Arts Faculty Committee is available to review portfolios of five to eight slides of artwork submitted by applicants to the Studio Art major only. All slides should be clearly identified and forwarded to the chair of the Department of Fine Arts, Devlin 434, 140 Commonwealth Avenue, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467. The admission office does not encourage the sending of videocassettes as part of an application.

For applicants to the Music Major: Students interested in the music major or minor, or students interested in the Orchestra or Chamber Music Society can submit a CD or cassette to the Department of Music, Lyons 407, 140 Commonwealth Avenue, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467.

For applicants to the Theatre Major: Students interested in the theatre major, or with a strong interest in theatre or dance, are encouraged to send samples of their works to the Office of Undergraduate Admission, Devlin 208, 140 Commonwealth Avenue, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467.

For applicants interested in joining the Boston College Band: All instrumentalists, jazz vocalists, bassists, guitarists, pianists, and drummers wishing to submit recorded samples for review may send recordings to the Boston College Bands, Conte Forum 213N, 140 Commonwealth Avenue, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467. The CD or cassette should be clearly labeled with the name of the performer, instrument or voice, and the title of works played.


PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to return any portfolios, tapes, videos, slides, or other pieces of work; therefore, we do not recommend that students send original copies. All materials must be received by the appropriate department by October 15 for Early Action candidates, and by December 1 for Regular Decision candidates. Submissions received after these dates will not be reviewed.
