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.
