Course Overview
Specialization through thesis research prepares students to work in contemporary fields of art wherein medium-specific histories present secondary (though important) concerns within a broader exploration of art's evolving functions and forms. Program faculty members are all working artists, exhibiting and presenting in regional, national and international settings. The MFA degree prepares students for participation in a broad range of professional contexts, from gallery exhibition and art commission, to curating, publication or activism. Our graduates often also seek teaching positions in post-secondary College and University settings, and typically accrue some teaching experience to this end by serving as instructors in our undergraduate programs. Students in the MFA Painting, Sculpture and New Media program benefit from a unique range of possible collaborators and advisors across the University. Historically, students have developed connections within the College of Fine and Applied Arts through coursework in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, or Theater, or across the campus through study in such areas as Gender and Women's Studies, Media and Cinema Studies, History, or English/Creative Writing.
