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

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.
