Master of Fine Arts - Art

For more than forty years, the Department of Art and Art History has demonstrated its commitment to graduate education. Ours is the most comprehensive visual arts program in the Rocky Mountain West and one of the largest academic departments at CSU.

The MFA program in studio art is designed to promote artistic achievement, creative research, and professional practices. The program’s required coursework is structured so that students can benefit from the department's wide range of faculty expertise. In consultation with their advisers, students plan a sequence of elective courses that complements involvement with their primary media. The program also fosters student engagement with faculty and peers through coursework in contemporary art theory, art criticism, and art history.
