3 year painting MFA programs?

[sassonzr]

Hello artists,

I am now officially narrowing down my list of MFA programs, with a focus on painting/drawing. It is VERY important for me to get funding, and it is somewhat important that I like the location (my partner will be moving with me, and we both do not want NYC or Chicago). Adding to the list of complications, I'd really love to find a 3 year program. So far, most of my favorite choices on the list are 2 year programs.

Does anyone know of 3 year programs that I might be missing? Or, if you know of any strong painting programs (that have good funding) to add to my list below, please write suggestions!

So far, I'm looking at:

U Michigan (2 yr)

U Penn (2 yr)

VCU (This is a high reach) (2 yr)

University of Tennessee Knoxville (3 yr)

University of Minnesota- Twin Cities (3 yr)

UMass Amherst (Interdisciplinary) (3 yr)

UC Irvine (3 yr)

Thank you!!!

University of Oregon is 3 years with full tuition waiver and teaching stipends. Great faculty and environment

All three year Univ. of Iowa, Ohio State, Ohio U. are some to look into.

Look into University of Iowa, I went there for undergraduate.  Lots of bs politics in the administration, but fully funded I think if not pretty well funded and faculty is great.  Susan Chrysler White is like a superstar professor, amazing artist and just wonderful person.
