MFA陶瓷计划为独立动机的学生提供了为期三年的机会，使他们成为专业的艺术家/老师，并最终在Snite艺术博物馆举行了正式展览。除了传统的陶瓷工作室活动外，该计划还与研究生雕塑领域的学生和教职员工相结合。陶瓷和雕塑具有共同的批评，教职和设施。每个MFA学生的专业经验都可以通过小组批评，参观艺术家研讨会，当代历史与批评课，展览和社交互动与MFA候选人在设计，绘画，版画和摄影领域的互动来补充。
The M.F.A. ceramics program offers independently motivated students a three-year opportunity to establish themselves as professional artists/teachers, to culminate with a formal exhibition in the Snite Museum of Art. In addition to traditional ceramic studio activities, the program is combined with students and faculty in the graduate sculpture area. Ceramics and sculpture share common critiques, faculty and facilities. The professional experience of each M.F.A. student is supplemented by interaction with M.F.A. candidates in Design, Painting, Printmaking and Photography through group critiques, visiting artist seminars, contemporary history & criticism classes, exhibitions, and social interactions. Many past M.F.A. ceramic graduates have been placed in university teaching positions around the country, and most have remained active as professional ceramic artists.
