The Pan-European MFA centers around three 15-day European residencies. Summer Residency Application deadline April 1st, 2016.
During three 15-day residencies, students participate in workshops, seminars, field experiences, and face-to-face classroom instruction from faculty. From September through May, students work individually with a faculty member in continual online communication, creating and submitting work and receiving feedback from their faculty mentor.
