Overview

Students from the Art MFA/MA program offered at The University of Montana are encouraged to explore across media, while diving deeply into ideas and process. They have access to faculty with diverse interests, and broad facilities to discover new and exciting possibilities. These include digital fabrication equipment, kilns, welding, woodshops, digital studios, printing presses and large installation spaces. Many students also work with Media Arts faculty with specialties in sonic, film and design expertise.

During their studies, students work closely with professors, engage in a rich exchange of ideas with fellow classmates, and join a culture of experimentation and innovation.

After Graduation

Former students embark on a wide range of creative careers. A substantial majority teach at the college-level. In fact, 25% find full-time, permanent positions in academia within five years. Others accept positions as arts administrators, curators and directors in museums, galleries and nonprofit organizations across the country. Our grads have received competitive awards, such as Fullbright Fellowship and international residencies.
Over 90% of alumni are professional artists after graduation, continuing to make and exhibiting work nationally.
