mfa art practice program

The ideal candidate for the MFA Art Practice Program has a cross-disciplinary set of interests and is eager to approach art making using both traditional and non-traditional media. Successful applicants will have completed a full undergraduate education and have been granted a BA, BS, BFA or the equivalent. Most candidates will have between two and five years experience as a practicing artist beyond their undergraduate education. However, we expect that some students may come directly from an undergraduate degree program. Applicants should be fluent English speakers and writers and be able to demonstrate technical proficiency in at least one visual art form. Because of the nature of a low residency program, candidates must demonstrate a high level of professional discipline, be self-reliant, and be prepared to take significant personal responsibility for the successful completion of their graduate program. Applications submitted on or before December 9 will be considered for early decision. The preferred general application deadline is January 15.
