The interview is an opportunity for applicants to introduce themselves, present their work and discuss assess the applicant's preparedness for entry into the program and will ask about commitment, goals and expectations, design knowledge, experience and communication skills. It is also an opportunity for applicants to ask any questions they might have about the program and for faculty to recommend upgrading if necessary.
