About the course

From critical analysis to furthering and refining material knowledge, you?ll engage in an intense studio experience, strengthening your skills and broadening your knowledge of historical, social, and critical issues through seminars, group critiques, and peer interactions. Our MFA degree is in fine arts rather than any specific medium or discipline. Though many students are committed to an area of interest?whether painting and drawing, printmaking, sculpture, or integrated practices?they are free to explore other forms and approaches as their work evolves. Faculty and students build relationships through structured studio visits, seminars, and informal conversations. These relationships create vital communities and support networks that endure long after graduation.

　　Pratt Institute?s M.F.A.
