Graduate Application
A student who submits an exceptional portfolio with an undergraduate
degree in another field, will be accepted with the condition that they
make up any deficiencies as determined by their graduate committee. The same requirements are observed when considering credit for previous schooling from a University other than UAF. Students with a degree
from
UAF will be considered if they have attended full time a MFA
program at another institution for one year.
