Undergraduate Program

Admissions decisions are made by the admissions committee, comprised of members of the College's faculty. The committee determines whether an applicant has a reasonable chance to be successful in college based upon his or her academic record, essay, and how well the applicant’s stated education and career goals relate to the chosen program of study. The committee may request additional information or require the applicant to meet with a department chair prior to making a final decision.

The committee may recommend that a student participate in College Bound, a tuition-free program offering an opportunity to engage in six weeks of math, reading, writing, and study skills classes to prepare to enter the College. Upon successful completion of the program, including acceptable scores on placement re-testing, students accepted for admission to The Art Institute of Jacksonville.

Students who require additional educational assistance are referred to appropriate government agencies or other special education institutions equipped to handle them. Students may also be required to complete a transitional studies program to fulfill proficiency requirements. See the Academic Catalog (PDF).
