The Department of Art and Art History provides an MA program that enables students to focus on various artistic fields while developing compelling creative works, equipping them for professional roles as visual artists and educators. Established in 1950, the program has propelled countless artists into successful creative professions worldwide. Intentionally small class sizes ensure students receive individual studio space and personalized faculty mentorship. To earn the MA degree, students must complete 30 credit hours through graduate studio courses, seminars, art history studies, critiques, and electives, with all requirements fulfilled within a six-year timeframe.
