We have granted hundreds of graduate degrees since our formation in 1968. The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) is a terminal degree in Design, and is widely recognized in the U.S. as the minimum requirement for full-time, college-level design educators.
The graduate studies program in Design is intended to be broad and interdisciplinary, in contrast to our undergraduate program, which is more specialized. Graduate students are encouraged to explore emerging design issues, and to partner with other disciplines to propose innovative solutions.
Design Research and Development (DRD) and Digital Animation and Interactive Media (DAIM) both lead to a MFA degree. Students are required to complete 60 credit hours of graduate study. This is a full-time, three-year program.
