The teaching faculty, in conjunction with Graduate Program Director, will prepare an evaluation of each student’s work once each term. If the work is not satisfactory, students can expect a notice of warning before being asked to leave the program. Thesis requirements vary according to the student’s area of specialization. It is important to remember that students are not guaranteed an MFA once accepted into the program; it is only your work and progress made in the program that can ensure this.
