You Do the Math

This one doesn't take an MBA. Heck, the cost-benefit analysis here is so easy to do that even someone who studied English (or art history) can run the numbers.

Here are the inputs:

Artnet reports that tuition for SVA's new MFA program in art criticism is set at $11,000 a semester.
SVA requires students to be in residence for four semesters before it will award the degree.
Realistically, what career options does the degree open for graduates?

Here's how the numbers come together for me:

Estimated tuition for an MFA in art criticism from SVA: $44,000.
Dooming yourself to a lifetime of hustling from one freelance gig to another: priceless.

And forget about ever having health insurance.
