The Florida State University Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Program is fully immersed in an interdisciplinary, research-centered environment. We offer outstanding, dedicated faculty and a rigorous curriculum. Our primary concern is contemporary art, and the practice, history, and theories that inform it.
- The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) is a three-year residency program.
– Currently every MFA student receives an assistantship with tuition waiver and stipend.
- Our graduate students have their own organization: The League of Graduate Artists (LGA)
- All MFA students have individual studios in a spacious 13,000 sq. ft. warehouse with two installations rooms, a wood shop, metalworking, a ceramics labs, computer labs, common spaces and a mediated graduate seminar room.
- The graduate program has two dedicated off-campus MFA exhibition spaces, known as the Working Method Contemporary, which is managed by the LGA.
- FSU’s College of Visual Arts, Theatre and Dance has acquired a new interdisciplinary building known as the Facility for Arts Research (FAR), which incorporates a range of digitally-driven tools for art-making, including the formLab and The Small Craft Advisory Press (SCAP)
- We offer a dynamic visiting artist and scholar program with recent visits from Matthew Coolidge (CLUI), Brian Alfred, Willie Cole, Elizabeth Condon, and Swoon.
- MFA students who wish to teach are trained in an intensive Pedagogy course and given support while teaching introductory courses.
- Graduate students participate in annual trips to Miami Art Basel and other faculty-led trips including New York, Atlanta and London.
- Florida State University is a Class I Research Institution located in the capital city of Tallahassee, Florida.
