We are committed to cultivating an atmosphere of open critical exchange & a community of intense artistic practice that promotes individual development of students as artists & thinkers. Colorado State University's MFA Fibers program is a 60 credit, self-guided program that embraces fibers in the broadest sense and fosters interdisciplinary approaches. Textile arts engage people with the study of human history, identity, and behavior. The field of contemporary fiber intersects with the worlds of art and design and promotes technical specializations as well as mixed-media and installation approaches.<br><br>Our graduate students work with active artists, scholars, and researchers. The textile community in Colorado offers opportunities to work and collaborate with arts organizations, exhibition venues, craft writers and publishers, and experts in many textile specialties. We place an emphasis on connecting our students with people and organizations who can foster individual growth and expertise.
