Master's Degree Program

The Master of Arts degree is an initial Masters program designed to provide for improved artistic skills and technical abilities. The program offers the students opportunities to improve critical thinking and research skills that apply to art methods, materials, and processes. Students complete the MA program for many reasons: to extend a teaching license, to prepare for an MFA program, to professionalize their artistic skills, or for personal enrichment.

Students are expected to develop advanced capacities to work independently, make effective artistic, intellectual judgments, and professional decisions in the area of specialization.

Students are expected to develop depth and breadth in required subjects or areas of study. Students must demonstrate to the graduate committee continued growth throughout the program. Graduate students are expected to participate in group critiques at mid semester and at finals.

The Department of Art and Design offers a Master's Degree in Art with a concentration in Ceramics, Drawing or Painting.
