We are a highly ranked MFA program located in the Boston/Cambridge area. Residency-based, we meet for

ten-day residencies each January and June in our

state-of-the-art Lunder Center.

​

Each residency is defined by a strong community, rigorous discourse, and high-profile visitors. Residencies can be experienced in-person, fully online, or a hybrid of both.

​

During semesters, students work with faculty advisors on their academics, and with studio mentors in their region who 

oversee their art practice, and help expand their art networks.
