Art - MASTER'S (MFA)

DEGREE OVERVIEW

The UTA Department of Art and Art History offers terminal graduate degrees in four disciplines: design, cinematic arts, intermedia, and glass. Each of these programs combines complex independent research and creative activity in line with contemporary professional practice. Students can expect to be challenged conceptually and technically while developing a mature body of work over a three year period of study.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The MFA is a 60 credit hour, full-time program requiring three years of study. It culminates in a visual thesis exhibition with a complementary written component that is typically introspective in nature. Students are able to tailor their class schedules in conjunction with their graduate committees, and classes that are independent as well as collaborative in nature are possible. Graduate assistant-ships are typically provided with acceptance to helps defray tuition costs in exchange for modest work requirements in the department. Teaching opportunities for graduate students exist in the second and third years.
