Our graduate programs cultivate professional visual artists and are ranked among the top ten at public universities. For the MA in Art, students specialize in two of eight disciplines: painting and drawing, printmaking, ceramics, jewelry and metalwork, sculpture and intermedia, 3D design, graphic design, or photography. The program fosters artistic growth through workshops, teaching experiences, and collaborations with artists, writers, and curators, establishing a foundation for independent creative exploration. Beyond School of Art, Art History, and Design coursework, graduate students can expand their studies across the university's diverse course offerings.
M.A. students must hold a B.A. or B.F.A. in art equivalent to that offered by the University of Iowa. Undergraduate deficiencies, if any, may be made up concurrently with graduate study but do not count toward the graduate degree requirements.
