The MFA Program integrates practical and critical skills across diverse media and disciplines. When you graduate, you’ll be prepared for a career as a working artist—or a teacher on the college level. MFA students are enrolled at both the Museum School and Tufts University, and graduate with an MFA degree from Tufts.

Here’s how to apply:

  • Check our deadlines. The deadline for fall admission is January 15. Applications postmarked after January 15 will not be considered for admission. All materials must be sent to the Museum School Admissions Office.
  • Download, print and read carefully the SMFA Application and Admission Information - submit completed summary of undergraduate credits to the Museum School, and the $65 application fee made payable to the Museum School. You can also request a paper application. Submit to the Admissions Office at the Museum School. Online applications are not accepted.
