在这里学什么？

The Master of Fine Arts in Art with an emphasis in Printmaking offers students a comprehensive education that helps prepare them for careers as professional artists. The program has two major goals: 1) for students to learn the skills, creativity, critical awareness, and autonomy necessary for being a professional artist, while simultaneously, 2) gaining the skills and experience necessary to teach art at the college level. Students must be able to demonstrate a high level of ability in their area of emphasis, present a professional-level body of original artwork which reflects their ability to investigate concepts, issues and processes relevant to their studio practice, and be able to discuss this work critically. Students supplement their studio practice through graduate assistantships when possible, using them to complement and enhance their skills, understanding, and ability to communicate art issues. The outcome is that students are able to pursue a professional art career by exhibiting their work in appropriate venues, as well as pursuing grants and artist residencies and garnering critical acclaim for their work in the press. They are prepared to teach art at the college level in term or tenure-track positions as well as find other professional opportunities in a variety of cultural venues.

Generally speaking, the Printmaking, Painting, and Drawing areas of emphasis, work together as a whole at the graduate level, and are colloquially known as the “2D area.” Painting and Drawing are mostly considered to be functionally the same thing at the graduate level, with Printmaking retaining its own identity to a greater degree due to the need for its separate facilities and technical requirements. The MFA Degrees with emphasis in Printmaking, in Painting, and in Drawing are integrated and inclusive, situating the student's experience within a studio dynamic that broadly investigates the combined and collaborative potential of these studio areas. Students are simultaneously encouraged to explore the relationship of their subject area to other disciplines and media possibilities within the resources of the School. Through a process of practical and intellectual engagements, students are encouraged to devise individualized strategies to develop and inform their own work in relation to the broader spectrum of contemporary professional practice. The faculty consequently places considerable emphasis on the opportunity for students to encounter a range of ideas, attitudes, and approaches that are necessary to this development, all of which are further enhanced by a program of visiting artists and relevant critical and historical contextualization.

A minimum of 60 semester credit hours is required for the Master of Fine Arts degree with a major in art. Primary Studio emphasis: 26 hours Art History or related subjects: 12 hours Studio Electives (may be within specialization): 9 credit hours Thesis or terminal project work: 6 hours Other Electives: The remaining 7 credit hours may be elected from any area within the School of Art & Design or from the University at large.
