FAQs

• Is the MFA program fully funded? And do students really get a regular stipend during the two years?

  

  Yes! We are thrilled to offer full tuition remission as well as a generous stipend for each quarter of the two-year program. We are able to extend this opportunity to all of our admitted students, including international applicants. This means our program not only allows you to earn an MFA without having to worry about tuition, it also pays you so that you can focus more fully on your artistic growth.

• When is the application deadline for the program?

  

  4th feb

• Can the writing sample be more than ten pages?

  

  No. It’s got to be ten. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we can only read ten pages from everyone. These can be any ten pages that you want to submit: an excerpt; a complete work; a few shorter works. Just keep it under ten teleplay, screenplay or play pages—no prose, poetry or short stories, please. Though if you are an applicant who is selected as a finalist, please note that you will be asked to submit a full-length play, film, or television pilot.

• Is the GRE required?

  

  We do not require the GRE — your writing sample and artistic voice are the primary considerations for admission.
