Stony Brook's M.F.A. in Studio Art is a 60-credit terminal degree program that blends studio practice, academic coursework, and theoretical study. While focusing mainly on artistic creation, the curriculum also includes liberal arts classes and a teaching component. Students complete the program by presenting a solo thesis exhibition with a written thesis and participating in a group M.F.A. show at the Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery. Typically completed in three years of full-time study, the program doesn't admit part-time students. This degree is ideal for aspiring professional artists and those pursuing careers in arts administration, art education, or museum and gallery professions.
