SVA Admissions is hosting three in-person Open Houses spanning our New York City campus each fall and each Saturday features specific academic majors.  When you attend Open House, you’ll experience a customized itinerary for one major of interest. Please choose your date and major mindfully.

Programming includes panel discussions with current SVA students, and an opportunity to speak directly with Admissions, DEI and Financial Aid. Tours of your selected major and residence halls are also available.

Prospective students are welcome to attend multiple Open House Saturdays. Open House attendees will receive a $50 application fee waiver if they apply for Early Action by December 1st.
