The University at Buffalo Department of Art unites the practice of art, art history, and theory.

MFA in Studio Art
In this intense two-year studio program that exceeds traditional boundaries between disciplines and encourages cross-disciplinary research, MFA students reconcile scholarly interests with creative action to define a unique and individual practice—a practice that will carry forward beyond graduate study. Individual and group interactions with peers and faculty form the core of the program, supplemented by frequent visits with artists, designers, and scholars from a wide range of disciplines. This is a rigorous program that requires a serious work ethic and the ability to chart a personal course of artistic development. MFA students enjoy private or semi-private studios and full access to departmental facilities.

MA in Visual Studies 
The MA in Visual Studies is designed for a small, carefully selected group of students who have already identified an intellectual project in keeping with faculty specializations.

MA in Critical Museum Studies 
MA in Critical Museum Studies is a new professional development interdisciplinary MA program that falls under the aegis of three sponsoring core departments/programs: Art, Anthropology, and Arts Management. The program offers a theoretically informed and politically engaged perspective on the current museum field, while preparing candidates for leadership roles in arts management.

Located in the upper west of New York State, Buffalo stands at the crossroads between Canada and the US, the East and the Midwest. Long a technological and industrial powerhouse, Buffalo is reinventing itself as a haven of the arts, and its many arts non-profits including Hallwalls, CEPA and Squeaky Wheel ensure one of the most lively cultural scenes in the nation. The city boasts nine museums including the Albright Knox, a symphony designed by Eero Saarinen, opera, multiple theaters and theater festivals, and fourteen colleges and universities—not to mention Niagara Falls.
