I entered the MFA in Interdisciplinary Media Arts program at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ University to expand my horizons, pick my own adventure with my studies, and become a professor.
I started the program with a vague list of interests that only blossomed with the professors at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. The professors told me I had a great foundation for dissertation work, should I choose to pursue it. Every professor gave rigorous, comprehensive feedback that helped me push interdisciplinary exploration in new directions.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ University prepared me to become an adjunct professor at another university.
I recommend talking to the professors in the program to ensure you’re on the right path for your immediate goals.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ University was the right step on the path of life-long learning.
