Portfolios and U.OSU

How do you use portfolios?

Depending on the department, program, class, or intended professional use, your portfolio needs may vary. Typically, a portfolio is thought as of a collection of work; however, the type of work to be showcased may differ greatly based on discipline and purpose.

Some U.OSU themes may be better suited to your needs than others. Consider how you will use your portfolio and what kind of content it will contain before you select your theme.
