It looks like the University of Michigan is not accepting MFA applicants?? I just recieved this email.
"Thank you for your interest in the Master of Fine Arts program in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.
The faculty of the Stamps School are reviewing the MFA program in preparation for revisions that will be announced in 2013. The School has suspended the admissions process for the 2013 application cycle in order to prepare for the revised program.
We look forward to providing details of the revised MFA as they become available. Information will be posted to our website in mid 2013 at: http://art-design.umich.edu/programs/graduate
The School will recruit for a new MFA class in 2014."
I am a painter and I would like to know more about the differences between the Massachusetts MFA programs (MassArt, BU, and SMFA). Funding, faculty, facilities and culture are important to me. Any help would be appreciated!
