SVA MFA Design Criticism

D-Crit is the Design Criticism MFA department at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, chaired by Alice Twemlow and co-founded along with Steven Heller in 2006. In Fall 2008, the department enrolled 15 students, who became the inaugural class to complete the two-year program and graduate, in May 2010, with a Design Criticism Master of Fine Arts degree. In the fall of 2014, the program morphed into a one-year Master of Arts degree in Design Research, Writing, and Criticism.
