- Work samples: Applicants are required to submit work samples based on their course of study or strength, e.g. designers should provide design samples, public relations majors should provide PR-related materials, advertising majors should provide ad layouts, media plans, marketing plans, etc. Please submit at least three, but not more than five samples in your chosen course of study.Your work samples, regardless of content, should be provided in one PDF.
