Master of Fine Arts
Format: Campus
PAFA’s Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program is an interdisciplinary, two-year program. Students are not divided by discipline or area of study, but instead are encouraged to experiment and further discover their voice in various media. The curriculum is structured to help students improve their abilities to see and make while also broadening and deepening their conceptual framework and skills to discuss and write about art. At the core of the MFA program is an individual's studio practice, along with seminars in theory, contemporary art, writing, and professional practices. The MFA program culminates in a written and visual thesis; the latter of which is presented during PAFA's Annual Student Exhibition in the museum galleries. In their studio work, students are encouraged to be independent, self-motivated, and open to the new possibilities and ideas that arise through the course of making. Through experimentation, one-on-one discussion with critics, and group critiques, students develop their work and ideas into a sustainable, thoughtful artistic practice. We privilege studio development, critical research, and professional practice. Our MFA candidates contribute to and benefit from a diverse community of artists, curators, writers, and problem solvers.
