Program descriptions
Graduate Art is an interdisciplinary Master of Fine Arts program that encourages divergent ideas and methods. With a core faculty of 12 internationally recognized artists and writers, an adjunct faculty of 21 and a total of 35 students, we have the highest faculty-to-student ratio of all comparable MFA programs. The result is an intense work environment where concentrated art-making is assured equally concentrated and careful attention, whether within specific disciplines or among them: in film, video, photography, painting, sculpture, installation, performance and everything in between.
Media Design Practices / Lab + Field brings interdisciplinary design practices to a world of cultural and technological change. Graduates get an MFA in Media Design through one of two tracks: Lab or Field. In the Lab Track, students work with emerging ideas from technology, science, and culture, using design as a mode of critical inquiry in a studio context. In the Field Track, students work in an international context where social justice, media infrastructure, and communication technology intersect.
