Low Residency MFA Programs are designed for the 21st-century artist whose work and life demands both a rigorous engagement with an artistic community as well as flexibility, fluidity, and a self-directed approach. Our low residency MFA visual arts program is a wise choice for anyone who has other things going on in their lives. Perhaps you have a full-time or part-time job that you need to maintain.
