Description:
SFAI’s graduate programs challenge students to engage in the critical thinking,
discourse, in-depth theory, and practice that are essential for engaging with
and understanding contemporary art and global society. The School of Studio
Practice offers exceptional MFA, Summer MFA, and Post-Baccalaureate programs in
Design and Technology, Film, New Genres, Painting, Photography, Print Making and
Sculpture. These programs focus on independent studio practice and challenge
students to broaden and advance the conceptual, historical, and practical
knowledge needed to sustain a contemporary studio, surpass and transform
previous work and ideas, and break through to something truly new. The Summer
MFA program is designed for those graduate students who choose an alternative
academic schedule. The Post-Baccalaureate program is excellent for students who
want to better prepare for entrance to an MFA program or for those who want to
enhance skills and knowledge without plans to enter an MFA program. The School
of Interdisciplinary Studies includes MA programs in History and Theory of
Contemporary Art, Urban Studies, and Exhibition and Museum Studies. In these
distinctive programs, students are trained to be challenging thinkers, affording
the ability to imagine a myriad of solutions that are applicable in a variety of
fields. The MA in Urban Studies combines the resources of both Studio and
Interdisciplinary Studies, permitting an in-depth study of urban forms and
habitat. Exhibition and Museum Studies considers the understanding that museums
and exhibitions are both historical objects and subjects, while History and
Theory of Contemporary Art addresses complex issues such as the dismantling of
the hierarchies of artistic mediums, the globalization of culture, the
intersection of Western and non-western modernity, and the question of
authorship in the practice of contemporary art. Programs: MFA, Low Residency
