In general, no. Of course it depends on who your client is and what you're going for, but most times I'd advise against it strongly.

A huge part of it is just the tendency for college graduates to pad their portfolios with academic pieces to make up for lack of consistent application in finished work, and even if it's unfair that the connotation exists it'd be silly to not try to avoid it. Along with that, if your studies are applied successfully and you've a decent hand at life drawing then have it show through your finished work - no need to bash them over the head with it twice. If your studies look better than your finished work and it's hard to connect the dots between them, then it's kind of misleading in the first place.

If you have an interested client/recruiter and they ask - they do, sometimes - then show them. Keep it in its own section on a website or something. But don't go out of your way to shoot yourself in the foot by putting it in beforehand.
