Our three-year MFA program is nationally recognized and respected. We believe the students that accept our invitation to study with us are well served. We are an equal opportunity and inclusive community seeking applicants who are open, curious, committed to excellence in art and design and interested in a collaborative learning environment.
With each graduating class, the School of Art affirms the value of creative individuals with a wide range of practices, styles and interests. We encourage our degree candidates to develop a sustainable practice that expresses beauty, evokes wonder, confronts injustice, asks questions, and tests values—because art can be a catalyst for personal growth as well as social reform.
