will_wrobel Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 <p>I am looking into the MFA program at the Academt of Art in San Francisco, mainly because I really like the way they handle their program. They have many focuses in photography (documentary, commercial, fine art etc.) bt still group all the students together, giving the same assignments but relating the assignments to each focus. I very much like this idea and I was wondering if there are other schools that would handle their program this way. Perhaps not on the west coast? I live in New Hampshire and all of my family is here on the east coast and I'd like to stay here.<br>There is the choice of doing the program online, from anywhere in the country, but I feel that would detract from the critique process and hands-on learning. Are there programs like this back east? or smiliar? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtk Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 <p>FIT, RISDI and SAIC may be the only private schools east of the Sierra Nevada with brand names that count. What's the point of an MFA if it doesn't buy national attention in a CV?<br> <cite></cite><br> www.saic.edu<br> www.risd.com<br> www.fitnyc.edu/</p> <p>West of the Sierra Nevada there are of course more:<br> http://calarts.edu/ http://www.artcenter.edu/accd/about/history.jsp </p> <p>Find MFAs in online CVs of YOUNG photographers who seem commercially and/or gallery-successful in important (ie biggest) cities..ask them for their thoughts...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtk Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 <p>Unfortunately nobody else has responded...and I didn't answer your exact question. Maybe you should re-post in the Education Forum.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 <p>Moved to the Education Forum. Please don't recommend re-posting, photo.net does not allow posting the same question on multiple forums here. Better to recommend contacting a moderator.</p> Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klaus_knoll Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 <p>Low-residency programs like the ones at <a href="http://www.transart.org">Transart Institute</a> may be an interesting alternative to online as they combine personal contact with individual study. Wikipedia has an extensive list. Bard and Vermont might also be of interest. Best of luck in your search. Klaus</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
