International Center of Photography–Bard Program in Advanced Photographic Studies

icp.org/mfa

The International Center of Photography–Bard Program in Advanced Photographic Studies (ICP), launched in 2003, awards an MFA degree in photography in collaboration with the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts (see page 307). The two-year program, based at the International Center of Photography in Manhattan, explores all aspects of visual expression through an integrated curriculum of studio practice, critical study, seminars, resident artist projects, and professional practice, including internships with leading professional photographers and photography organizations. The program’s core faculty and guest artists offer students guidance from some of the most accomplished professionals at work today, and the curriculum makes full use of the resources of ICP’s curatorial team and museum collection. The goal of the program’s broad approach to photographic practice, from studio work and exhibition to writing and publication, is to equip aspiring artists with the critical and professional skills necessary to succeed in all aspects of the field.
