MFA in Printmaking Admission to the graduate printmaking program allows the student to study any and all media within the area. While the individual graduate is allowed to pursue a personal direction, the faculty encourages students to become well-rounded printmakers, experiencing and understanding many media and processes. TAs and RAs are generally awarded after at least one semester of graduate residence. Studio spaces are provided in several locations to graduate students, however, there are chronically more students than spaces. Consequently, new students must usually wait for space.
Preference is given to students with teaching assistantships.
Graduate printmaking students may also be assigned workspaces in the Research Studios or other Print Area studios. Graduate students have 24-hour access to the Art Building and most of the print studios, dependent on their current enrollment. The Graduate Program leading to the MFA degree is a 60 hour program that generally takes three years to complete.
