Fine Arts MFA

This program, leading to a master of fine arts (MFA) in interdisciplinary studies, provides advanced training in music, dance, theatre, film, and visual arts. It furthers cross-disciplinary research, technical skill and artistic creativity, and the development of critical awareness of the relatedness of the arts both in contemporary society and in an historical perspective. The MFA degree is the standard qualifying degree for teaching at the post-secondary level. Courses provide flexibility to accommodate individual differences in background and artistic goals, with emphasis on the production of creative interdisciplinary work. The program is full time and two years in duration. It cannot be pursued part-time and has a residency requirement due to the nature of the artistic practice.
