M.F.A. in Visual Art and Public Life
Admission
Admission into the program is competitive. Applicants must demonstrate a commitment and capability to develop sustained creative activity as a visual artist at the professional level and the ability to complete graduate work. Applicants must have (1) an undergraduate degree, preferably a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a studio art emphasis from an accredited institution, but other backgrounds will be considered by the graduate admissions committee, (2) a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, (3) a portfolio documenting past visual art work. Some otherwise qualified applicants may not have all the necessary coursework and background experience to prepare them to fully succeed in their graduate coursework. These persons will be required to make up curricular deficiencies by enrolling in appropriate undergraduate courses prior to taking specific courses in the graduate program. Complete, current admissions requirements, deadlines for admissions, application procedures, and information about financial aid are available on the website for Herron School of Art and Design.
