Admission Requirements
Applicants should possess an undergraduate
degree (B.A. or B.F.A.) in fine arts with 40 or
more semester hours in art. In addition to the
Graduate School application materials, the
Department of Fine Arts requires:
- A statement of intent indicating your
area(s) of focus, the subject of your work, the
concepts and issues you are exploring, and how
you foresee your work evolving within the
program.
- A portfolio of no more than 15 images
on CD/DVD. Digital files must be readable on
Mac computers. Include a printed, hard copy
inventory list of the works in your portfolio.
It is preferable that images are sent in .JPG
or .TIFF format and not in a presentation
format such as Power point, etc. Time-based
works must be limited to 10 minutes total.
Since they will be viewed at 1024×768
resolution on a large projection screen, your
formatted images should be as close as possible
to that resolution while maintaining
presentable image quality. Ensure that your
name is clearly printed on the disk and the
sleeve or case. Please avoid adhesive disc
labels. If you would like your disks returned,
please include a prepaid return mailer. CDs
will be considered disposable unless otherwise
indicated.
- An inventory list with the title, medium,
size and approximate date of completion for
each work included in the CD/DVD portfolio.
Those applying for a Teaching Assistantship
must furnish three letters of recommendation to
the Graduate School indicating in which areas
they are qualified to assist and teach.
Program Description
The department offers an interdisciplinary
program where students may focus in, but are
not limited to, ceramics, drawing, digital
media, painting, photography, printmaking, and
sculpture. Emphasis is placed on personal
and conceptual artistic development in light of
contemporary art practices. Graduates
meet with faculty for one-on-one studio
discussions. First year students have an
exhibition in the departmental gallery and the
second year program culminates in a thesis
exhibition held in the Museum of
Art. A final oral examination is also
required.
