Admissions Criteria

Paris College of Art seeks serious, responsible, and highly motivated applicants who demonstrate potential for growth. A prospective student’s potential for artistic achievement is one of the most important criteria in evaluating candidates for admission, whether it be at the undergraduate or graduate level. PCA students work with high level professionals in their chosen field of study, and a level of maturity and autonomy is expected of our students. English proficiency is a requirement, but we seek to serve an international student body where no one national group is dominant in numbers. We also care deeply about the sense of community that an institution of PCA’s size is able to offer, and respectful collaboration and teamwork are important values at PCA. Applications for the BFA in Film Art need to be submitted on www.emerson.edu

Deadlines

We review completed applications in rounds throughout the year. You are encouraged to apply early, as priority for admission and scholarship is given in earlier rounds. Non-EU students, who must obtain a student visa to study in France should apply as early as possible.
