Transcript: Applicants will need to obtain and scan copies of transcripts to upload into their application portal. Personal Statement: Statement of Intent (500 words) The statement should discuss the applicant's academic interests and objectives, what the applicant would contribute to the program's environment, and most importantly, why the specific academic approach at UIC is the right match for an applicant's graduate study. Applicants should also explain how their architectural interests have been shaped by significant past experiences. A PDF of the statement of intent can be uploaded to the application portal approximately 3–5 days after the online application is submitted. Recommendation Letter: Three Letter of Recommendation For students from architecture backgrounds, the School prefers to see at least two of the three letters from architecture professors. For students from non-architecture backgrounds, letters from professors who can assess your academic abilities and potential for graduate school are the most useful. Letters from employers are also acceptable. Note letters of recommendation written by friends or family will not be accepted, regardless of their professional position, as they are not deemed as objective. Portfolio: Applicants to the Master of Arts in Design Criticism program should submit a formatted portfolio of written work rather than a design portfolio. The overall design of the portfolio itself should demonstrate a level of thinking, care, and consistency that is commensurate with the applicant's written work. Aspects of the portfolio that should be carefully considered and consistent throughout are: page size and proportion, orientation, and layout, font style, title pages, use of color, and so on. Portfolios must be mailed to: UIC School of Architecture Attn: Graduate Admissions 845 West Harrison Street Room 3100 A+D Studios, MC030 Chicago, Illinois 60607
