- Why you are interested in the school ? What makes this school a good match for you in relation to its competitors? what looks unique about the program?
The school of visual arts prides its self on a personalized photography MFA program. I am looking for a school that has a program that can mold to creative thought and process, not ridged structure. They also note they have a diverse student body and faculty. Something that they put up front in their learning priorities is understanding and studying historical perspectives, as well as criticisms and theory in contemporary photography. This understanding of the past to forward the thoughts of the future is very important and not always made a priority by schools.

Im interested in The New School because I'm moving to NYC in may and want to further my education. Some things I like about the New School that puts it on my list above other schools in NYC is it emphasizes a creative and collaborative environment. They have a established reputation in the art and photography community in New York. The program as a focus in educating its students about the possibility of photography, and other time based medias.
