MFA Illustration

... United States
... University of Hartford

Course Overview

Our low residency program couples intensive, on-campus sessions in the summer with traveling spring and fall contact periods. During the summer, you convene with other students on campus for two weeks, working in a studio environment where you are provided focused interaction with award-winning faculty. The week-long fall and spring contact periods take place off-campus in major cities across the country, where we visit studios, area museums, and invite local illustrators to speak about their careers.

The structure of our program allows you to complete the program in two years (summer, fall, spring semesters each) plus two weeks (final third summer). In between contact periods, you’ll maintain communication with the Program Director and Thesis Advisor while completing assignments and developing a thesis project.

The program is directed by Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame inductee, C.F. Payne, and was founded by the late Murray Tinkelman, legendary Hall of Fame illustrator, educator, and illustration historian.

General Eligibility

All Master of Fine Arts in Illustration candidates are required to maintain continuous enrollment in the program and a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0.

Students are required to attend each contact period to successfully complete the program, progressing through the two years within a summer start cohort.
