Bachelor's Degree
The Master of Arts program cultivates professionals skilled in studio practices. Alongside developing technical expertise, students gain critical analysis abilities for visual arts. Sacramento State's MA degree also prepares candidates for advanced study in Master of Fine Arts programs elsewhere.
Studio coursework blends practical training with art history and theory. Through sequential classes in ceramics, drawing, jewelry, metalsmithing, digital media, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture, students evolve from learners to autonomous artists. The program particularly fosters personal artistic voice, conceptual depth, and professional mastery of both techniques and ideas.
