The MFA Visual Narrative program offers a fresh perspective and bold alternative to traditional MFA programs. We do so by recognizing that a command of story is the most powerful and fundamental foundation an artist in any creative profession can possess. Exceptional and effective storytelling isn’t conveyed in beautiful words, images, or character plot alone. Audiences only become invested with an insatiable “need to know what happens next” when they personally connect and empathize with a story’s message or protagonist on a personal and internal level—the challenges they face, why they make the choices they do and how they become forever fundamentally changed by them. That realization and empathy with the true meaning and purpose of a story’s message or protagonist’s struggle is what makes stories so powerful, immersive and moving—and why stories matter to us all.

Our educational mission is to inspire all students to harness their collective creative writing and visual development talents to amplify their visual narrative skills, in addition to mastering their personal command of story. Our graduates are empowered to be the next generation of transformational, relevant original content creators. The MFA in Visual Narrative program prepares them for leadership, with the confidence to own their personal voice and the visual narrative expertise to change the world through story.

If you are ready to test the limits of your skills and what your stories are capable of, we invite you to join us!
