Interdisciplinary Practice
(MFA only)
Are you thinking of earning your MFA, but no specific program quite rings true for you? We understand. After all, the School of Art intentionally attracts those who don’t fit neatly into one label or another. Not only is this acceptable, but here, it’s encouraged. We are passionate about helping you stay true to your artistic vision while pursuing the conveyance of cultural meaning across multiple mediums and disciplines.
Speak with an academic advisor about the MFA Interdisciplinary Practice Track. Under the guidance of experienced faculty members and with the support of the School of Art’s expansive resources, MFA Interdisciplinary Practice Track students will work toward a Master of Fine Arts in Art while fine-tuning their artistic identity.
You will be empowered to pursue your artistic vision wherever it takes you, whether you are interested in interactive installations, sound art or digital settings. Become immersed in theories, methods and advanced technologies while considering the application of art as a social practice. You’ll enjoy newly re-modeled facilities, including graduate student-only wood and metal fabrication facilities, and open spaces in the Graduate Studio facility.
