imogen Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Some very strong MFA programs have big price tags. But I wonder if there are any quality programs out there that offer more funding than others. Does anyone have any insight? I'd appreciate it.

tulipana Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I have the same question. From searching on this site, it seems like painting/traditional media gets some funding, but I've yet to find funding comments about non-traditional/conceptual programs. Also, I am wondering about some good schools with facilities for video/animation/mixed media? It seems like you only get a personal studio as a graduate student if you're a painter? Could be completely wrong, I'm still doing a lot of research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwebster Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Just check previous years' funding threads, as far as studios go pretty much everyone gets a studio, not just painters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jldstudio Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yeah, I have been reading a lot of previous threads in this forum too. In general, it seems that for funding you should look at public schools instead of private ones? Tuition will be cheaper at least. In california most of the UC schools offer good funding. I just got my copy of the CAA's grad school guide if anyone has a specific school they want to hear about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imogen Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 The CAA guide is out already? I thought the new version was publishing in September? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jldstudio Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Oh I'm sorry, I'm not sure. I guess I did make it sound like I meant a new one but I've still got the old/current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proartistic Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I heard that cornell's MFA is free. also USC is free? not sure. Hunter is cheap. tyler offers 25% tuition. NYU offers 50%? (i just heard..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losemygrip Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The CAA guide is not published annually. The current version came out two years ago. Still a wealth of information. The strategy for grad school is: apply to a range of schools, including fall-backs and very ambitious. Then see who gives you the best deal. I always ended up going with my fallbacks, and it all worked out. No student loans, no debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthbetold Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 usc and vcu sculpture are best bets consider rutgers and tyler offers much more than 25% i think (could vary by dept) with some of the free schools out there, keep in mind that you may not get much in return for your career as an artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
