The Master of Fine Arts at Kansas State University is a terminal degree program, accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). The M.F.A. provides students with the competency and experience to have successful careers as professional artists and designers, to teach in higher education, and to pursue a variety of other art related occupations. Inquiry begins from the standpoint of a focus area that is then paired with exploratory studio, research of current and historical contexts, and multiple opportunities for exchange of ideas. Focus areas include ceramics, drawing, digital/experimental media (D/X media), painting, printmaking, photography, metalsmithing and jewelry, sculpture, and visual communication design. Studio practice that extends beyond one area into other art disciplines is encouraged.<br><br>Housed in the Department of Art, M.F.A. students receive in-depth mentorship from Graduate Faculty members, who in addition to teaching, are active in exhibiting, performing client work, engaging in social practice, or publishing. Students in the program are expected to be in residence working in their studio on campus each semester of the academic year, for the duration of their program.
