The Master of Fine Arts
The Master of Fine Arts degree program in the Department of Art and Design at Purdue University develops and prepares students for professional competency in the creation of works of art, in the application of art, in the transmission of knowledge of art, and in the roles and responsibilities of artists and designers in society.
The Art and Design graduate program provides a dynamic environment in which students intensively pursue, develop, and refine their artistic and/or design aesthetic under the mentorship of actively engaged artist/educators.
The Art and Design faculty fosters students' artistic and intellectual growth through graduate-level studio courses and seminars that address artistic, philosophical, and theoretical issues relevant to graduate-level studio production.
