Admission Process
The admission process to the MFA Studio Arts is in two parts. The first part is the online application. The second part is the portfolio review. These two parts are handled separately but concurrently.
The Online Application
Montclair State University's Graduate School handles the online application and their website contains a lot of useful information about the process.

Portfolio Review
The other part of the admission process concerns the review of the portfolio which is handled directly by the MFA program, and reviewed by the MFA Committee. The portfolio should consist of twenty pieces of two-dimensional work and/or slides, video, film, DVD or CD. It should be sent at the same time as your online application is completed.
Portfolios should be sent to program assistant Louise Davies or director Dr. Andrew Atkinson.
