Introduction
The MFA program offers six areas of specialization: Ceramics, Interdisciplinary Studio, New Genres, Painting and Drawing, Photography, and Sculpture. These studio areas are supplemented by seminars and lectures in contemporary critical theory. The program emphasizes the development of a sustained artistic practice through exploration, experimentation, and intensive studio work and study. Opportunities to investigate areas beyond one's concentration are made available.
Maximum time is allowed for independent studio work, enabling students to work with up to three faculty members each quarter on an individual basis. Reviews of graduate work in the winter and spring quarters serve as a forum for critique and discussion with the entire faculty. The MFA degree normally requires two to three years of residency and culminates in a graduate exhibition.
