What is a "Project-Based" Program?
CCAD’s MFA program is structured as a series of semester-long projects, each project commencing with a project proposal and concluding with public presentation (whether digital or actual) of the project’s results. Application to enter the program is made by submitting a project proposal for the first semester of study.
