Admission Requirements

Applicants for the graduate programs in art must submit all materials by February 15 to be considered for regular admission into the next fall semester. No candidates will be considered for admission into the spring semester. The art faculty reserves the right to refuse any applications received after the February 15 deadline.

An application for admission has to include a completed application form, two letters of reference, a statement of purpose, a portfolio of at least ten representative works and official transcripts of all previous college work. Possession of a bachelor’s degree is prerequisite for entering the Master of Arts in Art program.

Students are awarded a full tuition scholarship on a competitive basis for the course work needed to complete the program. Part-time study is not possible. Scholarship holders are expected to be available for departmental tasks upon request, not to exceed five hours per week.

Studio/research/grading assistantships are awarded in areas of art history, ceramics, painting, printmaking and sculpture. Teaching assistantships are rare and depend on the needs of the department.
