anybody know if Arizona State is 2 year or 3 year?

Thanks Cui Cui! AmandaBR my googeling-superstitiously-while-at-work skills are a little spotty but I think most of the other info is correct, sorry about that!

Hey Amanda, not trying to hog your topic here, but I went back and looked at my grad school research spreadsheet for 2 year schools, heres everything I have confirmed (it seems like most programs are two year): UCLA, has a darkroom, has teaching opportunities University of Chicago Cal Arts RISD California College of Art, CCA has great facilities, pretty much anything you'd want! MICA University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, color and B&W darkroom SCAD Tulane, has a darkroom, don't know about teaching opportunities but they do offer all accepted grad students a stipend Columbia University, has a B&W darkroom, no color Mass Art is two year I know a lot of these schools aren't in the west... Sorry I don't know more!

Also, I'm looking for 3 year programs... so if you hear of any of those would you let me know? I'm already looking at these 3-years so far: Columbia College in Chicago University of Georgia, Athens VCU RISD

If you'd like to stay in the west, you might want to look at University of Washington, they have a two year program. University of Oregon is two years also I think. Good luck!

As far as bargain schools go UGA also offers substantial funding, but I'm really more interested in looking at class size right now. Like I've heard that SAIC classes are huge... can anyone verify?

I'm gathering a list of grad schools to potentially apply to, was wondering if anyone could comment on the average class size (of MFA candidates with Photography Concentration) at the following schools: Yale RISD Columbia College School of the Art Institute of Chicago Cal Arts Columbia College Arizona State University Maryland Institute, College of Art Columbia University Virginia Commonwealth University Bard/ ICP University of Arizona Massachusetts College of ARt Carnegie Mellon University of Chicago UGA University of Texas, Austin University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill The New School School of Visual Arts Tulane NYU UCLA Art Institute of Boston I know this is a very very long list, I'm trying to compile a somewhat comprehensive list of programs and relevant information (like length of program, class size, number/ common availability of TA positions, etc.) so that I can share it with friends, maybe even students someday...
