\u00a9Gregory Halpern, Professor<\/p>\n

Each installment of\u00a0In Focus: The MFA Review<\/strong>\u00a0highlights a different MFA program for photographic artists, offering readers a concise overview of its identity, curriculum, faculty, student experience, financial support, and post-graduation outcomes. It also serves as a showcase of the creative work produced by faculty, students, and alumni. Rather than functioning as rankings or endorsements, these features are intended as practical starting points\u2014tools to help prospective students compare programs, identify what matters most to them, and make more informed decisions about their graduate education.\u00a0While certain details shared in these articles may change over time, my hope is that these program snapshots offer a clear sense of what each represents in the present moment.<\/p>\n

Tell us a little about your program. How would you define its scope and purpose? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The MFA Photo program at RIT takes an expanded view of photography. We provide students with critical tools for developing concept, form and practice through large projects. By guiding our students through the process of critique, articulating themselves and writing about their work we also prepare them professionally for a career in the arts.<\/p>\n
