The Program Directors decided to extend the deadline for applying to the MFA two weeks. The decision came after we switched servers and the MFA website disappeared. A forensic search recovered much of what was lost, but we learned that the server switchover caught some applicants off guard. We apologize for any inconvenience and would very much like to encourage you to use this extended period to finish your applications. Our reporting date for acceptance to the MFA remains, at least tentatively, March 15, 2013.

We received this message today from our Provost: “The low-res MFA was just given full and final approval at the Board’s Academic Strategies Committee meeting. The full Board will be notified of the ASC action in November but no further approvals are required. We are officially up and running. Congratulations! Now to the real work at hand . . . .”

So it’s official and we can post our application forms and our tuition and fees schedule, which we will do after we return from The Montana Festival of the Book.

Check back soon.
