Program Overview

The MFA program at Washington State University is a three-year 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 and a thesis document are also required. The degree requires 53 graded credit hours and 8 credit hours of thesis work (FA 700) totaling 61 credits.

Fully funded Assistantships are highly competitive.
