GRADUATE Program
MFA Degree Program
The graduate department curriculum covers a wide range of critical and
technical issues. Working closely with the graduate adviser of their
choice, students are encouraged to create a course of study informed
by their own goals for their work as artists. Considerable weight is
given to a student's establishing a theoretical and historical
context for understanding their work, the work of other artists, and
the work of media in general.
The faculty represent a broad range of experimental media traditions
and practices. These range from animation and handmade films, to innovative documentary and narrative
investigations, multimedia and web works, to community-based and activist projects. A rotating schedule of
internationally known artists complements the Department’s curriculum. In the past, the department has
hosted Mani Kaul, Craig Baldwin, James Benning, Ernie Gehr, Harun Farocki, Mona Hatoum, Isaac Julien, Trinh
T. Minh-ha, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Cheryl Dunye, Peggy Ahwesh, Ulrike Ottinger, Martha Rosler, and
Yvonne Rainer. In 2004, internationally recognized filmmaker Anne Quirynen was the department artist-in-residence.
Visiting artists residencies are designed to give students extended periods of time to work with master
artists on advanced research projects.
