MA/MS in Fine and Studio Arts

This studio-based graduate degree is the highest qualification available in studio art. It concentrates on making work and on each artist's individual growth. The program crosses disciplinary and national boundaries, asking students to assemble a serious body of work by experimenting, researching and exploring, with attention to both current and historical visual culture. The structure leaves room for students who want advanced work in one studio area as well as those who move between media. Faculty mentors help artists build lasting careers that shape visual culture, and the program connects students with leading voices in contemporary art and design thinking. Admission and degree requirements, including studio expectations and review procedures, are described by the department on its graduate pages, and students should consult them directly.
