Images will arguably be the most important documents of the 21st century, operating at the intersection of communication, commerce and culture. The MFA program educates students to be critically skilled, visually literate and creatively prepared for a world where photography, video and streaming media are responsible for much of our visual knowledge. The program encourages student initiatives in research and teaching that seek new paradigms of literacy through a critical and creative exploration of emerging forms of image making. The interdisciplinary structure of the curriculum encourages students to explore a range of related media in pursuit of their creative objectives. The MFA program is a three-year fine arts curriculum in which photography students formally interact with other graduate students in the department through visiting artist seminars, contemporary history and criticism classes, exhibitions, critiques and studio practice. All students acquire undergraduate teaching experience over three years. Proficiencies in digital still and video technologies are expected while traditional darkroom processes remain a valuable creative component to the program.
