The MFA in Art Studio is an interdisciplinary degree that embraces broad forms of making and practice.
Generous access to faculty and facilities empowers students to curate their graduate experience around the media and skills they need to be successful artists. In this three-year program, graduate students are presented with a robust curriculum that combines individual studio-based research with seminars focusing on theory. MFA candidates are provided with personal studio space and 24/7 access to our state-of-the-art facilities. An MFA is the terminal academic degree for studio artists and is the required faculty credential for most institutions of higher learning. While a BA or BFA in studio art is the typical preparatory degree for the MFA program, students with any four-year bachelor’s-level degree may apply; demonstrating quality creative work and significant potential for continued research is essential for any prospective graduate student.
