The Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) degree program offers students the opportunity to pursue an advanced degree in the Departments of Art, Drama, or New Media. Faculty who are practicing artists and experts in the field provide an environment grounded in a traditional fine arts education, while encouraging students to study broadly in the arts and to find their own creative voice. Spirited experimentation with artistic and performance techniques, on a foundation of theory and critical thought, as well as the application of new technology are an important and integral part of the Faculty of Fine Arts.
The M.F.A. program allows graduate students to concentrate in one or more artistic disciplines or cross disciplinary lines, to build a program of individual study, and to synthesize their work into a personalized artistic expression.
