The MFA curriculum is offered on a three semester per year model with all students entering the program in the summer. A student entering the program can expect to complete the minimum requirement of 60 credit hours towards graduation in three summers if they carry 12-13 credits in the summer and smaller loads during the fall and/or spring semesters. To this end we offer six- and seven-week summer intensive session options and encourage participation in faculty mentored off-campus projects during the fall and spring.
