Non-Traditional
The New Hampshire Institute of Art welcomes nontraditional student applicants and the diversity of experiences that they bring to the studios. If you graduated from high school more than a few years ago and personal or business demands prevented you from following your dream of pursuing a degree in the arts, or you’ve just discovered a passion for art, you may want to refer to your pertinent life experiences in your Admissions essay. Nontraditional applicants must follow the same admissions procedure as traditional students.
Life Experience Credit
A student with exceptional life or work experience, documented by art work, his or her exhibition history, or published or unpublished writings, may apply for a maximum of nine credits to be transferred toward studio or liberal arts requirements or electives.
