Administrative Bylaws

The two-year Master of Fine Arts degree offers students the opportunity to pursue areas of specialization or non-media-specific studies. Facilities include studios in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture (there is no foundry), ceramic sculpture, photography, video, and electronic arts. The program encourages development of studio practice, culminating in an exhibition of the student's work. This exhibition is expected to be of the depth and quality of a solo presentation in a reputable commercial or public gallery, or in the case of site-specific works, of a similar professional quality in consideration of siting, process and fabrication. Individual studio space on campus is provided.

This is a Departmentally-based Graduate Program.
