The MFA in Studio Art is a two-year, sixty-credit program comprised of a close-knit community of exceptional students, working with committed faculty with expertise in a wide range of mediums and approaches to art-making. Students working across disciplines have their own studio spaces at CCNY in Manhattan. The first year is spent on work emphasizing experimentation and growth, and the last year focusing those experimentations into a solo thesis exhibition mounted in the Art Department’s gallery.
The MA in Art History with a possible Museum Studies concentration is a 30-credit CCNY Master’s program in art history. We offer an array of courses in global modernisms and art history that complement and draw on New York’s dynamic arts culture. The city’s diverse museums and galleries and its thriving contemporary art scene are featured in many courses and are available for research internships.
