Print Media & Photography

The Print Media & Photography MFA emphasizes photographic and printmaking practices within a contemporary art context and is an ideal incubator for artists to engage multiple studio disciplines in the development of their work. Interdisciplinary by its nature, it reimagines conventional methods and allows students to refine and expand their practice. A select program within a robust MFA environment, it strives to encourage inquiry, experimentation, and an inventive approach.

Students whose practice would benefit from this program are those who would like to enter a diverse learning environment within a major research university with a critical approach to inquiry grounded in contemporary issues, theory, and aesthetics.

Working in the context of a global contemporary culture, the program benefits from linking historical and contemporary art practices. The program prepares students technically, aesthetically, and professionally for a future in the visual arts utilizing our state of the art facilities, our accomplished and professionally active faculty within a closely knit community.

Features of the program include collaborations that span the humanities, sciences, and fine art, as well as opportunities of working abroad, that allow students to encounter a range of perspectives and approaches to making and understanding images in the 21st century.
