Overview
About this Degree
The Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia offers graduate study in art education, art history, and studio art. The programs, leading to the M.A., M.A.Ed., M.F.A., Ed.S., and Ph.D. degrees, prepare students for a variety of careers within the arts and are described in detail in the Graduate Handbook.
The Art MFA program at the University of Georgia has a flexible, forward-thinking curriculum that allows students to concentrate in one area or cross-pollinate and experiment. Students work closely with faculty mentors in the School of Art and benefit from access to leading researchers in a variety of extra-aesthetic fields at the University. MFA students make objects and ephemera, performances and paintings, photographs and installations, lens-based work and jewelry, textiles and interiors, soundscapes and relational situations.
Programme Structure
- Students who successfully meet the requirements for continued enrollment in the MFA degree program, will be required to arrange a public exhibition of creative studio work during the final semester of residence.
- The exhibition will be evaluated by faculty, who will determine if the exhibited work represents a satisfactory level of professional accomplishment by the candidate. Faculty approval of the exhibition is a requirement for graduation.
