I teach a class called Making Studio (class blog) in the MFA Products of Design program at SVA. The department’s chair, Allan Chochinov, writes of the upcoming February 15th priority application deadline:

We are looking for all kinds of applicants for the MFA program: the highly-skilled, seeking more meaningful applications; the deeply-knowledgeable, looking for greater scale and impact; the passionate, looking for more rigor and process; and of course the iconoclastic, looking for a home.
