For international students

Prospective MFA students should hold a four-year Bachelor's degree (typically a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree) from a recognized academic institution.

Applicants must provide evidence of work related to the intended area of study. It should be representative of a level of development equivalent to advanced undergraduate study in a university program. Completion of senior-level coursework in History of Art, Design, and Visual Culture also is required. A qualifying year of study prior to formal entry into the graduate program is possible for applicants who may need to supplement their undergraduate preparation or for those who have a three-year degree.
