"Multi-Disciplinary, Contemporary Art Practice and Research"
The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) is a two-year interdisciplinary studio program that supports all forms of contemporary art practice and research. Our students develop multi-disciplinary practices essential for a career as an artist, or as an educator.
Our Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program is an accredited degree crucial for developing complex and mature studio practices – like those expected of practicing artists by critics, curators, museums, and galleries. It is the ‘terminal’ Fine Art degree in the United States, necessary for teaching at the college level.
All students utilize our vast resources, our internationally recognized faculty, and our state-of-the-art equipment to develop multi-disciplinary studio work that is groundbreaking and affirmative for each unique student, an innovative research framework art practice, conceptual and technical skills, and lasting professional connections within the city and region.
New offering for MFA students: A pathway to a 12-CH certificate in Entrepreneurship in Lindner College of Business.
I chose DAAP because it was close to home as well as the opportunity for interdisciplinary studies and access to incredible facilities.
