Students work from their home studios in the context of the communities in which they live, work, and make art. The program encourages an interdisciplinary approach to studio practices, helping emerging artists to integrate contemporary cultural theory with the practical concerns of their own media, method, and place in the world. Since its inception in 1991, the program has based its educational success on the principle of individualized learning. While in the program, students complete a series of interdisciplinary writing projects with a core faculty member and pursue their studio work with an artist from their home locale, chosen in collaboration with the program. This system encourages students to develop their own mentor system and determine educational values and expectations according to self-initiated ideas of progress and professionalism. As internationally known artists and intellectuals, faculty members bring an array of issues and ideas to every residency and every student's field of study. Direct involvement with students' ongoing practical challenges, both during the residencies and via contact throughout each semester, allows the faculty to integrate each student's specific situation and experience into the educational process. Because of the individualized structure, faculty members are able to pay close attention to each student’s progress. The program's purpose is to create a vibrant community of artists and thinkers.     Accreditation Information: Vermont College of Fine Arts has been granted Candidate for Accreditation status by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. through its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education.  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GMAT Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
