The Department of Art and Art History provides an MA program enabling 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 careers worldwide. Intentionally small class sizes ensure students receive individual studio space and personalized faculty mentorship. The MA curriculum consists of 30 credit hours across graduate studio courses, seminars, art history studies, critiques, and electives. All degree requirements must be fulfilled within six years of starting the graduate studio program.
Main studio facilities are housed on Woods Quad, while Sculpture and Ceramics operate from the Bureau of Mines building complex. Garland Hall hosts the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art, which rotates exhibitions of contemporary artwork and actively collects modern works on paper and photography. Woods Hall's Sella-Granata Art Gallery showcases a dynamic schedule of student projects and other academically oriented exhibitions.
