yuv.sees Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) I'm taking the liberty to put forth my MFA dilemma here.I want to do an MFA in Photography. My preferences lean towards documentary photography, landscapes and capturing cultures and people’s ways of life. I'm wondering which colleges in USA would be a good fit for the above leanings. Inputs please? You can find my work on Instagram: yuv.sees Edited May 10, 2017 by yuv.sees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzontherocks Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 You might like to check out the New School in New York. It offers an MFA in Photography. There's a focus in documentary photography as well. All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrisR Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Background education: Associate in photography BFA in studio art, specialized in painting, took metal smithing and ceramics as well. Worked as a professional photographer for 20 years before returning to Rowan University to get my BFA. How would a MFA benefit me? Intense focus on my work Access gallery and professional networking Teaching opportunities at Universities I applied to for fall 2017: Yale, MICA,Rutgers, Tyler, Delaware, U Penn, and PAFA 3 of them offered me a Post-baccalaureate, I worked with local artists and on my art over the last year instead. The Post-baccalaureate tuition equals one year in an MFA program but is not credited towards an MFA nor will it guaranty to get into an MFA program. MFA Painting, studio practice , my work is representational paintings oil on canvas and I am researching programs which compliments my interests. Fall 2018 MFA Programs I consider so far Rutgers University of Delaware PAFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarryNight_1 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hey, I'm currently pursuing an MFA in India. I'm in my first year but really really really keen to study in the States, not art schools but universities that offer interdisciplinary MFA programs because I hold a bachelors in liberal arts. Was thinking of applying to UPenn and Cornell. any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funding was not where I needed it to be though as living in Portland has gotten to be more expensive every year. Its a great program. I hope you can swing it!
