Students wishing to concentrate in graphic/advertising design will normally do so beginning in their third year of study. Interested students will be required to present a portfolio to the art faculty consisting of 10–12 artworks selected from courses completed at Adelphi.

Its purpose is to encourage and support those students who demonstrate the discipline and dedication necessary for success in this demanding program.
