Tuition and Aid – GPCW 3+2

For their first three years on the 3+2 pathway, students in the program pay undergraduate tuition and are eligible for both undergraduate financial aid and program-specific scholarships. In their fourth year, students pay graduate tuition, plus six credits of undergraduate tuition; this qualifies them for better financial aid options. In the final year, students pay only graduate tuition. Altogether, this reduces the price of the MFA degree to almost half of what it would cost in a traditional MFA program.
