How to apply to WMU Fine Arts
We are so excited for you to join us! First, let's make sure we have everything we need from you to get started. To major in the College of Fine Arts, you must apply and be accepted into both the College and Western Michigan University.
Step 1: Apply to WMU
Step 2: Apply to your program
Apply to your program of study. You do not have to wait until you are admitted by WMU to apply to your program.
Step 3: Audition or portfolio review
Once you have submitted your application to your art or performance program, you will need to audition or undergo a portfolio review to be accepted.
Missed these dates? It might not be too late! Contact the department to apply after the posted audition or portfolio review dates.
