The Graduate Program in Drawing

The MFA program consists of 60 credit hours. The degree includes 30 hours in the major area, 9 hours in a minor area, 3 hours of Graduate Studio Seminar and a minimum of 1 hour of MFA Research Hours. The course of study is rounded out with 11 hours of electives and 6 hours of Art History. Graduate-level courses are primarily at the 7000/8000/9000 level. Fifteen of the 30 hours minimum must be selected from courses numbered at 8000 and/or 9000 levels, no more than 40% of the 30 hours credit requirement can be satisfied by Research, Readings and Problems courses. No credit is given for courses at the 4000 or below levels. A minimum residence of two years is required for the degree. The degree will not be granted solely upon the completion of the prescribed number of credit hours and the residence requirement but rather as the student attains a high level of creative achievement as determined by the student's graduate committee. See the Art Department's Graduate Program for more information.
