http://www.sfai.edu

SFAI has extended deadlines for Master of Fine Arts programs in Design and Technology; Film; and Sculpture/Ceramics. Applications will be accepted through May 1, 2008.

In addition, Master of Arts applications will be accepted through May 15, 2008 for programs in Exhibition and Museum Studies, in History and Theory of Contemporary Art, and in Urban Studies.

Master of Fine Arts
Reflecting a long legacy of studio-based practice, SFAI’s MFA programs challenge students to consider a range of approaches to the practices of art–conceptual as well as formal, contemporary as well as traditional. SFAI’s Design and Technology department invites students to use the visual language of design and interactive technology to achieve conceptual goals that remake the global media cultures of advertising, entertainment, gaming, and fashion. The Film department at SFAI is one of the oldest and most influential in the United States and is internationally recognized as a leader in the field of experimental filmmaking. With the addition of a new program in ceramics in the Fall of 2008, SFAI’s Sculpture department emphasizes interdisciplinary, conceptual, and material-based inquiry; contemporary and traditional sculptural practice; and avant-garde as well as traditional ideas.

Master of Arts
In SFAI’s distinctive MA programs, students are trained to become rigorous critical thinkers capable of imagining innovative and unconventional solutions to problems and issues applicable across a variety of fields. Exhibition and Museum Studies explores how museums and exhibition practices can be understood as both historical objects and subjects, while History and Theory of Contemporary Art addresses the dismantling of the hierarchies of artistic mediums, the globalization of culture, the intersection of Western and non-Western modernity, and the question of authorship in the practice of contemporary art. The MA in Urban Studies combines the resources of both the School of Studio Practice and the School of Interdisciplinary Studies, permitting an in-depth study of urban forms
and habitat.
