Graduate students in Fine Arts work in the disciplines of painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and combined media/newer technologies. They are challenged to consider the wider implications of their work and respond to the constantly expanding requirements and responsibilities of artists. Emphasis is placed on individual studio work, supported by a rigorous examination of critical and conceptual issues. Students participate in individual critiques, intensive group critiques, critical and professional seminars, and work with visiting critics on contemporary issues.

The MFA program offers opportunities to study abroad, with summer residencies, and an exchange program with the Royal College in London and the Frank Mohr Instituut in the Netherlands.

Students also pursue the interdisciplinary opportunities available within the school and can work towards certificates in areas of concentrated study, as well as make use of the exceptional resources of a world class urban university.
