I found that having the classes small meant that the critique sessions were really valuable and that everyone got a chance to share their work.
SMFA Certificate Student
One thing I enjoyed was the camaraderie between the students, because a lot of us were like myself, working and trying to do a career shift. Going into the program wondering, “I really hope this is going to pay off” so having other students who were supportive and encouraging was so nice.
