MFA Students are required to submit a bibliographic list of at least twenty-five works (books, films, visual art, performance, mixed media, etc.) that they’ve engaged with over the course of their time in the MFA program.
The Encounter List, similar to an Annotated Bibliography, should feature the following:
-
The annotations should explicitly connect their learning and/or thesis to the referenced work (consider what you learned, borrowed, or responded to).
-
The Encounter List should be formatted according to either MLA or APA guidelines; either format is fine but must be consistent throughout the list.
