<p>Hi everyone!
I'm applying to Columbia in the fall and was wondering about the art program there.<br>
I've heard that it's pretty tiny but I'm not looking to major in art -- just to take a couple decent classes. </p>

<p>Also, does anyone know if the admissions people frown upon submitting extra materials like a portfolio? I know the website says it's allowed but I have a feeling that if I submitted one they might think it was obnoxious. Art has been a major part of my high school life, so I definitely want to include it some way in my application. </p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Looks like you just answered your own question. If it’s a major part of your life (and your application will flounder without it), then send it. Of course the admission officers will understand.</p>

<p>I’m not so sure about their art department, but hey, you’d get free passes to the MoMA and other art scenes of NYC! :]</p>
