MFA Program Curriculum

The Master of Fine Arts program is an intensive, two-year studio art-making experience that involves daily interaction with an outstanding faculty of resident and visiting artists. Additional emphasis on achieving a high degree of skill in drawing and studio art-making practice is provided in regular private and group critiques, seminars in critical readings, a written thesis component, an outstanding visiting artist program, and participation in drawing and studio classes.

The Masters program is centered in the traditional studio arts of painting, drawing, printmaking and sculpture, but within these disciplines displays a considerable diversity in approach. All students are provided a private studio in the new Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building, with 24-hour secure access to facilities.
