Studio Art

The Master of Fine Arts program in studio art is designed to assist serious artists in the development of their work. The heart of the program is independent work in the fine arts in the student’s chosen specialty, complemented by required courses and electives. Attendance usually is full time, with four semesters required to complete the program. Admission is selective, limited to those who have already demonstrated both a commitment to art and the promise of further development. Students are provided with individual studios and share additional workspace in wood, printmaking, 3-D printing, bronze foundry and metal workshops. Shared ceramics, computer, and photography facilities are also available. MFA concentrations include Painting, Sculpture, Installation, Photography, Ceramics, Media, and Social Practice. The MFA degree is generally recognized as the appropriate academic credential for teaching art in college.
