creamypencil Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hi there, I want to study MFA in photography. But it seems USC program is more like a intergrated program. What do you think about it? Because I am not living in the states, so I don't know the situation. Hope u may help =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazoo Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hi! I am applying there also, as a painter. The program is as you say an integrated program, from what I understand, they are looking for students who want to work in a multidisciplinary way. As a photographer, it's a good place if you are open to pushing your installation/presentation further, or combining medias a little. That said, I have never been there, this is just information I got from looking up recent grads and the website itself. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellsworthy Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Here are some photos of the school. Like the program, the school is actually pretty small and intimate. If you're not familiar with Los Angeles, you should also keep in mind that one DOES need a vehicle since it will be very difficult to rely on public transportation (unless your work is non-object based). Considering that the area surrounding USC is pretty sketchy, I really think women should make sure they do have a vehicle. Just thought I'd share some of my thoughts about USC since I'm out here. Also, for those planning to apply to UCLA, the graduate studios are away from the main campus in Culver City which is safer than the area near USC. Regardless, I cannot emphasize how important having a vehicle is in LA. Life without a vehicle will present many more obstacles. Good luck!

ellsworthy Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Lastly, this blog has great photos for those not living LA. There are plenty of photos of the graduate open studios and great gallery openings in Los Angeles. http://try-har-der.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazoo Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Thank you so much for all of these pictures & info, paintcutter! I've been to LA before, but a long time ago and never got to visit Roski. This is really helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazoo Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I just got this by email and thought I would share. Visiting lecturers change every year of course but it gives you a general idea. http://www.artandeducation.net/announcement/graduate-lecture-series-at-usc’s-roski-school-of-fine-arts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creamypencil Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks paintcutter !! You are very helpful =) I think USC program does not suit me since I have only worked on photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamrem Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Does anyone know how ROSKI conducts interviews? I have the impression that it is either online via e-mail or by phone. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
