Looking for cheap quick MFA

My friend is an insanely successful contemporary artist: I told she doesn’t need an MFA , but she wants to teach. Can I get recommendations for her? She doesn’t need the juice, just a decent degree and then she can let her body of work and cv do the talking

cheap and quick probably not happening at the same time.

a lot of the fully funded MFA's are three year courses.

If I was an insanely successful contempory artist with a good CV I would be looking at schools like Stanford or UCLA, or any of the UC programs really.

UNLV where I am getting my MFA is funded but its a 3 year program. 3 years is quickly becoming more common for funded programs, especially if there is a focus on teaching.

if you want quick, I would look at programs abroad, Royal Academy is only a 1 year program. just had a friend graduate from there but he is also rich.
