Prospective Students
Prospective students are encouraged to visit the program before applying. We will be allowing visits to our facilities during the 2009 Fall Semester for prospective applicants, who are considering applying to the program for the Fall Semester of 2010. These visits will be coordinated with the Fall Lecture Series, which takes place on the following Monday evenings from 7:00 – 9:00 pm in the Joan Jonas Performance Hall, 265 Massachusetts Avenue, Building N51, Room 337: October 19, October 26, November 2, November 9 and November 16. Prospective applicants are encouraged to arrange their travel in such a way as to allow them to be in Cambridge for the aforementioned Mondays and to stay on for a tour on the Tuesday after the lecture. It should be noted that on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 from 9:00 – 1:00 pm, we will be having Independent Studio Mid-Term Reviews, which will be open to prospective applicants to observe.
