Thesis ideas and forms are organized into a cohesive body of work, which culminates in a written thesis and MFA exhibition. In addition to this focused individual studio research, the MFA curriculum includes an interdisciplinary weekly seminar, graduate level art history courses, and a graduate level course in critical theory. The Fibers program encourages a mixed media approach to art making, stressing the importance of integrating an artists materials,processes, and content. Students are welcome to include faculty members from other programs and professionals with relevant expertise on their Graduate and Thesis Committees.
