Experience VCFA
Take your work to the next level and earn your MFA or MA in a welcoming, committed community of artists.
It's impossible to describe what happens in Vermont. But a deep debt of gratitude keeps me trying.

The Low-Residency Experience
We know art doesn’t exist in a void but within a social context, so the low-residency structure works with your life as it is. Learn why a low-residency MFA is right for you.
The Fully Residential Experience
The two-year MFA in Writing & Publishing and the one-semester Certificate in Publishing offer a fully residential experience at VCFA. Learn more about what it’s like to live and study on campus in Montpelier, Vermont.

On-Campus Facilities
Our Vermont campus offers everything you need for a successful academic experience: space for learning, socialization, and downtime; delicious, nourishing meals; technology and connectivity. It’s a place to call home.
Rent Our Facilities
Located just blocks from downtown Montpelier and less than three hours from Boston and Montreal, Vermont College of Fine Arts’ historic campus hosts hundreds of conferences, retreats, meetings, and special events each year.
Ghost of VCFA
Anna is VCFA’s oldest (and most paranormal) resident. Some say she’s been haunting College Hall since her untimely death in 1897. Café Anna, our on-campus eatery, keeps her name alive.
