Students admitted to our program collaborate closely with renowned academics who supervise diverse study and experimentation in studio media. Throughout each level of the program, a student's own studio practice is enhanced by art historical study and elucidated via interaction with current discussions on art, craft, and design. Graduate students showcase their work and provide presentations at various places regionally and abroad as they advance in their careers.
Program alumni showcase their work both nationally and internationally, teach at educational institutions, and engage in specialized seminars, while remaining engaged within the arts community.
