Art M.F.A.

The MFA program places major emphasis on creative artistic work of high quality. It promotes not only the conceptual and technical education of the professional artist in their artistic practice, encouraging critical inquiry, excellence, and an understanding of the history of art, but also an experimental approach toward each media. The following four areas of study are available: Drawing, Painting, and Printmaking; Sculpture and Ceramics; Photography and Moving Images; Interdisciplinary Art and Social Practice. The MFA is considered a terminal degree in the field of fine arts and is typically the degree required to teach at the college or university level.
