The University offers an MFA in Fine Arts with a concentration in Fiber. The MFA Fiber program entails two years of intensive studio work. Graduate students are expected to demonstrate a serious dedication to their work and to the development of mature ideas and forms of expression. We encourage deep exploration of ideas, techniques and materials. Students may work in an inter-disciplinary manner or focus entirely on fiber. This is primarily a self directed program where students make the decisions about their direction of study. Each student meets regularity with a Faculty committee where lively critiques and conversations about the students work are the goal. An average week includes a Fiber graduate studio class, Graduate Seminar, Critique Class, studio hours and perhaps an Art History class. The Department has an active Visiting Artist Program and students are encouraged to take advantage of studio visits with our guest artists.
