The great thing about an MFA is that it is still considered a
terminal degree in design. Meaning, that is is the most you can get
in design. Yes, I know there are few PhD's, but they are far from the
norm at this point in time. The upshot here is that you can, if on
faculty, be considered for a full professorship and tenure, if that
is an option that speaks to you.
I seriously considered that route, but I kind of knew that two
masters in three years was my limit... and wanted to get back to full
time work (thought I loved the learning and open ended nature of
academia).

Hi Mat,
The only MFA in Interaction Design I know of is at the University of
Washington. Carnegie Mellon has a Masters in Interaction Design but
it's not an MFA, it's an M.Des.
