The MFA Program in Studio Art is a three-year program that offers advanced studies in Visual Art. Working with faculty from ceramics, drawing, sculpture, new genres, painting, printmaking, and photography, students learn to develop innovative, politically and socially engaged expression using diverse media. The MFA in Studio Art offers a 48-credit course of study, combining interdisciplinary seminars, one-on-one tutorials, classes on special topics, and art history courses spanning diverse histories. The MFA in Studio Art gives access to visiting curators, visiting artist workshops, curatorial studies, lectures, and an interdisciplinary program of graduate-initiated activities and access to courses in any other CUNY school. MFA students explore new ways to advance the field of visual arts and ideas, balancing critical thinking with aesthetics, contemporary issues within an historical perspective, theory with practice, and traditional methods with new technologies.
