Students earn the credentials they need to teach, all while learning from home and without leaving their career.
My new job in academia required a terminal degree, although I had been working and teaching for over 20 years. My MFA studies were a gift to my intellect, heart, soul, and, ultimately, my family, colleagues, and students. Turning inwards is powerful — especially when brilliant and caring advisors support you.

To deepen their creative work.
Designers who have already found professional success come to Vermont College of Fine Arts (VCFA) to enhance their practice.
My advisor Silas Munro basically blew my head off with all the design and queer culture knowledge he has. I’m not sure when or if I would’ve explored the history and context of my own identity in design or in general without him.

To take the next step in their career.
The MFA program is a home for mid-career designers wanting to broaden their skills and achieve professional and creative goals.
I chose VCFA after having taken a few continuing education courses. What I received from the program was an incredibly enriching education and experience that helped me find my voice, and elevated my confidence as a person, designer, writer, and speaker.
