Hello!
It's great to see everyone's achievements and discussions regarding graphic design/visual communications MFA programs. I'm currently a senior graphic design major, thinking about applying to grad schools after graduating college. A little bit about me: interest/focus on packaging, editorial, production design; plan to teach college level courses; will most likely make my final decision based on financial reasons, funding and affordability.
I have several questions that I wanted to ask, and would really appreciate it, if I can get everyone's opinions/advices/personal experience/etc..
- Entering Grad school fresh out of college vs. Coming back to Grad school after working in the industries
- Places offering best graphic design MFA programs (US/Europe) on your opinion (I've looked into many online resources, but just wanted to narrow it down, a bit)
- Best ways to make a decision other than financial reasoning (it would be nice if you could include type of programs that schools offer, such as, Yale as an example- I've seen many people having discussions about how Yale tends to focus more on the traditional, philosophy (?) of graphic design.)
- The difference between institutes (MICA, SAIC, etc.) vs. Universities/colleges?
I appreciate all comments!
