The Academic Affairs Office at SMFA provides help and information on program planning for all undergraduate students.
Both individual and group meetings are available. At your advising session, you and a member of the advising team will discuss program requirements, course selection at the Museum School and Tufts, your educational interests or concerns, difficulty with courses or course load and your short- and long-term goals. You can also obtain pre-approval of potential academic transfer work at other colleges and universities.
The current Undergraduate Program Advisers are:
Mara Metcalf received an MFA from the Museum School/Tufts ('88) and a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design ('80). Apart from exhibiting extensively, her work is in numerous private collections and the collection of the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence. She has taught at SMFA since 1991 and has worked as an auxiliary adviser for several years.
Michelle Widmer-Schultz received a Diploma from SMFA ('01) and a BA in Communications from Loyola University Chicago ('90). She works as an independent artist in digital and large format photography at her studio in Somerville, MA, and is fluent in Spanish.
