Thanks to everyone who replied about the MA/MFA debate- they are both terminal degrees, but the reason I think I would need and MFA as well is because I want to teach at the university level. I spoke to a professor at SFAI and she said that I would in fact need an MFA, and that the british system isn't really compatible with the US one. People in the UK can teach at the university level without an advanced degree, so I think that is probably why. I'd really like to know If anyone has a good sense of the program at Pratt though, as I think it would be good, but I've heard mixed things?

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but I'm looking for input on deciding between schools. I got accepted to the Pratt MFA program and the MA program at Chelsea College in London (MA is as high as they go). If I go to London I would have to come back here and get an MFA later I think, but it would add an international component to my resume. It also might give me a better shot at reapplying to CalArts, which was my top choice. On the other hand, Pratt is ranked highly and I could just get it done. Anyone have any advice? Any impressions of either school?
