There isn't really a list online I could find either. This could be another thing you ask them in the interview. It's ok I think cos there is a lack of that info on their part, not like you didn't do your research. But the people who were recently teaching the MFA classes have been: R.C. Baker, Martha Schwendener, Maureen Gallace (head of program), Ross Bleckner, Marlene McCarty, John Pilson, and Jennifer Krasinski. These may change a bit but pretty constant (and is the not diverse part, once you look them up you'll see). Then there's faculty who would do studio visits. Those are more fluctuating where there are swaps when some are on sabbatical. You could also just email and ask them for a list before the interview and see how they respond to that. The interview I had was pretty relaxed, it was on zoom so I don't know if it'd be different in person if you're doing that. It felt more like a chat rather than a more formal interview, I'd say far more relaxed than any other school. I think it's just the regular questions. Since it's a very intimate program (only 10 max students a year) they'd want to think of student body dynamics too aside from getting to know your work, so they also just want to get to know (as much as one can) what you're like as a person. Let me know if there's anything else I'd be happy to help! Feel free to dm me if you'd like

Hi, an advice for you and those interviewing for NYU Steinhardt studio art when they ask if you have any questions for them is to ask them what faculty diversity looks like in their classes and/or critiques. Try to push and get a clear and non-vague answer. Don't mean to deter anyone from going, the program overall is a good one, with a couple really great parts to it, but very much lacking in this above department currently. So if you're going into it, it's good to be aware of that and hopefully by asking this to them, it makes them confront and make changes to this issue. I'm not sure about outside funding, but from the program itself, everyone gets half tuition scholarships and in your second semester a paid TA position in one class, and in your second year you get to teach an undergrad class for the two semesters. It's a union position and pay is really good compared to other schools, with health insurance reimbursed almost fully. Let me know/message me if anyone has any other questions!

I am waiting to hear from NYU Studio Art. Did you apply to the same program?

Hey, anyone here applied to NYU Steinhardt Studio Art besides me? If so, have you heard anything from them? I had my interview a month ago but have not got any news yet.

Ah I see. Thanks for sharing that info.

Yeah of course, Integrated Practices. The interview invite email also said this: "If you do not wish to advance your application further, please let us know so we can redirect the invitation to another applicant." I don't know if anyone would reject an interview invite but there may be hope for those who haven't received one yet.

Hi all, have been lurking and thought to make an account and post here. I applied to 5 nyc studio art programs and so far, I've done interviews for NYU Steinhardt and Parsons. Pratt is scheduled for next week. Got rejected from Hunter, and still have yet to hear from Columbia. I've only seen one person post about having gotten interview invitation for Columbia painting department and from looking at past years' posts, different departments send out invites at different times and are kinda late. That's to say I'm anxiously waiting to hear from moving image. Would love to hear if anyone else has received news from Columbia.
