The MFA Low Residency program is a 60 cr graduate program. MFA Low Residency Students develop an independent body of work, which could involve a combination of media, technologies, and techniques. Six-week summer residencies in Boston immerse students in an intense studio environment and foster creative collaborations. During these residencies, students live on campus in the Artists’ Residence or in off-campus housing of their choosing.
Between residencies, students work under the guidance of a regionally based artist/mentor who conducts monthly studio visits and critiques. Online art history and critical studies courses forge greater understanding of contemporary art history and issues in contemporary studio practice, and strengthen the cohort through interactive discussion space.
At the conclusion of the program, students present thesis exhibitions and participate in final reviews on campus.
