developing countries and six scholarships of 2000 and 1000 USD
respectively are available to students from anywhere to participate in
the international MFA program.

In the highly individualized low-residency MFA program students create
their own course of study working on art and research projects off-
site with the support of faculty and self-chosen artist mentors. The
independent study is complemented by three intensive summer
residencies where lectures, critiques, seminars, performances,
exhibitions, and workshops take place on-site in Europe. The low-
residency format permits continuing a professional life while
participating in the program. Scholarships are given on the basis of
artistic merit and financial need. All media and genres. Deadline for
scholarships and rolling admissions: May 1, 2008.
