Applications are now being accepted for the MFA Visual Arts and Sound Art Programs at Columbia University School of the Arts. The application deadline for Fall 2024 is January 17, 2024, 11:59pm ET.

The Visual Arts + Sound Art Program offers students many opportunities to increase the depth and complexity of their studio practice and their ability to think critically in the contexts of contemporary art and theory. To that end students have regular studio visits with faculty, guest artists and critics who offer insight into both the form and underlying ideas of students’ work.

Students are also encouraged to explore electives across the university. Writing, Film Studies, Art History, Architecture, Philosophy, and Anthropology are only a few of the programs at Columbia where our students gain knowledge and inspiration that inform their studio practice.

The two-year Visual Arts Program is interdisciplinary, offering an MFA degree in Visual Arts rather than in specific mediums, allowing students to explore new ways of working or to focus on a particular technique including moving image, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and expanded practice. 

The Sound Art Program awards the Visual Arts MFA Degree in association with the Department of Music and the Computer Music Center. Students are also free to work across moving image, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, expanded practice and performance technique while focusing on integrating sound.
