The UNCG M.F.A. in Studio Arts is a two year, full-time program designed for visual artists whose work demonstrates a high level of proficiency in studio practice and art history. Applicants are required to have an undergraduate education in the visual arts and to have successfully completed a minimum of thirty-nine (39) credit hours in studio art and fifteen (15) credit hours in art history, earning a B.A. or B.F.A. degree.

The students admitted to the MFA program at UNCG reflect a diverse community of artists working in close proximity to one another and across many disciplines, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation, video, photo and interactive media. Our mission is to foster an environment in which students simultaneously create, learn to think critically, and engage in dialogue with peers and faculty members.

We view our students as practicing artists. Graduate students have private studios in the state-of-the-art Maud Gatewood Studio Art Center; the privilege of working within walking distance of the world-class Weatherspoon Art Museum; consistent interaction with an impressive roster of visiting artists and lecturers through the Falk Visiting Artist Program; competitive teaching and graduate assistantships; and, competitive scholarships for nationally renowned residencies.
