M.F.A. (ART)
The objective of the program of study leading to the degree of Master of
Fine Arts in art shall be professional achievement of high order, a knowledge
of art history and criticism, the development of a fundamental grasp and
understanding of the professional field of art and its relationship to supporting
fields of knowledge, as well as the satisfactory completion of course work
and other degree requirements. The program of study will vary depending
upon the art medium areas selected for the creative work and the goals of the
individual graduate student. The Master of Fine Arts degree in art is considered
to be the terminal degree in studio art and is awarded in recognition of professional
development in the visual arts as evidenced by a period of successful
post-bachelor’s degree study. The M.F.A. degree is recognized as preparatory to
studio art teaching positions at institutions of higher education.
Areas of Concentration: Major and/or minor concentrations include
drawing, painting, sculpture, design, printmaking, ceramics, and photography.
Prerequisites to Degree Programs: An earned bachelor’s degree with an
art major concentration or its equivalent. Consideration will be given applicants
without an art major concentration who present evidence of proficiency

transcripts of college level work; at least three letters of reference concerning art
work, work habits, and potential for graduate study in art; a portfolio of art
works; a personal statement concerning background, imaginative and technical
