Overview

It integrates creative work with academic research, international study with regional community engagement, and theoretical grounding with skills development.

All MFA students are required to reach beyond the cultures of art and design to develop robust engagements with one or more fields of knowledge and inquiry at the University of Michigan. Within this framework, the program offers two tracks — scholarly or studio-focused – to meet the individual needs and interests of students.
