Program deliberately misrepresents itself
Reviewed by: Alumni
Degree: MA/MFA
Concentration: Masters in Fine Arts
Pros
  • Pittsburgh can be a nice city
  • Campus is small
Cons
  • Program doesn’t have any resources
  • No graduate level courses
  • Faculty are insignificant
  • No opportunities in career post graduation
  • Falsely represents itself as top school in media arts
After finishing my MFA at CMU, I, like many of my peers, was unable to do anything with my career. The program was a nightmare because it advertises itself as the top school for moving image media arts but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The faculty are all random and there is no structure to the program. I wasn’t given any opportunity to advance in my work or career while there. The program seriously needs to reorganize itself and change its outward facing image so people don’t keep attending with the assumption that they will have careers in the media arts as a result.

Shouting into the void to whoever wrote this - I have an interview with CMU and would love to hear more about what concentration you were in and what was missing! Please DM me if you're willing to chat :)

The interview is not worth your time! The degree is garbage and the experience is just plain awful.
