What MFA programs in studio art do not require a BFA or previous undergrauate coursework?
I suppose I am the non-traditional art student. I did not go through an art program for my undergraduate degree, but I did take a few courses here and there. I am mostly self taught and my skills are quite decent. My medium is painting and drawing. I am looking to get an MFA and have been unlucky in my search for programs. Lots of the programs require 30-60 hours in studio art classes. Of which I do not have, nor do I really want to get a second bachelors degree.
So what programs out there are open to art students such as myself? I wouldn't mind taking several classes at the community college level because they are cheap, but I am not sure if these courses would qualify for the level of art courses required.

I have no idea, but if you have trouble getting into MFA programs maybe you might want to try for a certificate program instead. Also if that doesn't work you can just join art sites where they critique to help you improve your artwork like cgsociety.org. Just giving examples. In my opinion you really don't need an MFA to improve on art (especially if you already took a few courses) because usually they have "waste of time" courses. But that's just my opinion, so I can't completely help you much.
