The Program

The School of Art offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts. Candidates in the M.A. program may pursue a specialization in either studio art or art history. Candidates in the M. A.-studio or M.F.A. program choose from the following areas of specialization: ceramics, digital arts, drawing, fibers/fabrics, glass working, jewelry/metals, painting; photography, printmaking, and sculpture.

The primary objective of the M. A. and M.F.A. programs is the effective and professional training of students. Graduate study in art provides innovative instruction that leads to conceptual insights and technical aptitudes, which are essential to the understanding and practice of professional art. The development of technical skills and individual expression is emphasized.

For admission to the M.A. - art history program, an undergraduate background in fine arts, art history, or humanities is highly recommended. Deficiencies in art history may have to be addressed prior to formal acceptance into the M.A. program.
