Description:



The MFA Photography program is a 21st-century studio and think tank. Students develop their work in a collaborative environment, focusing on the relationship between concept and production. A rigorous critique process and regular meetings with faculty, visiting artists, and critics help develop a unique point of view and situate work within historical, theoretical, and contemporary visual contexts. Departing from the traditional semester format, the MFA is a 26-month, 7-term program. It commences with the first of three eight-week intensive summer sessions in residence at Parsons. Fall and Spring semesters complement the summer sessions with students engaging in independent study, either in residence or with the use of the latest distributed-learning technologies. Students graduate prepared to define the future creative role of photography as teachers, scholars or practicing photographers/artists.
