MFA in Arts and Technology
The program leading to the Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) in Arts and Technology is designed both for students wishing to teach arts-and-technology-related courses in colleges and universities and for those intending to engage in professional studio or design practice. While maintaining a commitment to interdisciplinary education fusing critical with creative thinking, this program places great emphasis on the creation and application of computer-based arts and narrative. Students must complete 54 semester hours of course work and a substantial advanced project.
MFA in Arts and Technology Degree Plan
The interdisciplinary graduate program in arts and technology focuses on the creation, application and implications of technologically sophisticated interactive communication. The program provides students with a flexible, interdisciplinary context within which to pursue their studies, built on connections among specific courses and areas of interest.
Within the specific degree plans, each student plans an individual program of studies in consultation with an assigned faculty advisor. Most courses for the MFA are offered under the rubric of Arts and Technology (ATEC), but the degree plan also includes select courses in Aesthetic Studies (HUAS), History of Ideas (HUHI) and Studies in Literature (HUSL).
To be a full-time student, nine hours of courses per semester is required; three hours of courses per semester is required to be enrolled in the program.
The graduate program in Arts and Technology is allied with the Institute for Interactive Arts and Engineering.
Art studios for MFA graduate students are available through an application process. Download the application here (PDF).
