Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs

Program Overview: In Printmaking, graduate students find a studio environment conducive to the development of diverse and exceptional artist printmakers. An active area in the School, Printmaking hosts print conferences and graduate students participate in a variety of collaborative print projects.
The Master of Fine Art in Printmaking is an intensive three-year program. The first and second years are primarily devoted to studio, seminar, art history, and elective coursework. During the third year, the emphasis is an intensive commitment to studio time in preparation for the thesis exhibition. As part of this 3rd year studio experience, the student will have individual and group meetings with faculty, interaction with peers, and will participate in graduate critiques. A normal full-time academic load is 15 credit-hours per semester, and progress toward the degree is guided by the student’s graduate review committee members to the successful completion of 90 credit hours.

Credit-Hour Requirements Summary: 90 Total credit hours

40 studio (28 in major area and 12 in studio elective hours)
12 art history/academic studies
6 seminars
25 thesis credits

Each student accepted into the School of Art graduate program is assigned an advisor who acts as the chairperson for the student’s formal reviews. The graduate student will be assigned a thesis committee consisting of three faculty members who will work with the student throughout their graduate study.

Review Process:

The First-Year Progress Review Occurs toward the end of fall semester and constitutes a progress assessment of the student’s work by his/her committee members.

The First-Year M.F.A. Candidacy Review occurs toward the end of spring semester and admits the student to full candidacy for the degree by the student’s committee members.

A Thesis Proposal Review occurs during spring semester of the second year and establishes the goals and guidelines of the student’s thesis exhibition.

The Thesis Exhibition Review occurs during the third year and satisfies an oral defense of the thesis exhibition. The School of Art requires that candidates for the M.F.A., at successful completion of the degree, prepare visual documentation of the work.
