What to put in my portfolio?

What should I put in my art portfolio for admission into a Graphic Design major?

• I'm currently in a community college but i'll be transferring out in a year to Virginia State University. My concentration will be Graphic Design and they ask for a portfolio in the Application. I've never prepared or have been taught about putting together a art portfolio so i'll have to make it from scratch. What should I put in it? Still life drawings? Any kinds of drawings or something else?
