The department relates to all the other areas in the School in an atmosphere of cross fertilization and evolution. Although experimentation and aesthetic freedom is encouraged, the faculty is also demanding and critically challenging. Personal artistic growth is expected from every student at every level.
Graduate students work in a variety of methods, processes and media.
Under various conceptual frameworks, they gain a strong critical, historical and theoretical basis for their work. The MFA progaram is a tutuorial structure and students may choose faculty advisors from any media. In addition to our regular and part-time faculty, we invite talented national and internationally recognized artists to participate in our program. This allows the department to offer more diverse courses for the students.
