    • MFA Portfolio Conferences constitute the second round of consideration for admission to the program for fall 2022.

      Portfolio Conferences are by invitation only and will be held in January and early February 2022. Specific dates and locations have not yet been finalized but will be noted here in late October. Applicants invited to participate in the Portfolio Conference round will have the option of participating in either an in-person or a virtual format. There is no advantage given to either choice. We encourage applicants to choose whichever format is more comfortable for them.
