Students interested in pursuing the visual arts Master of Fine Arts are encouraged to review the graduate curriculum found in this catalog and reflect on the thoughts, feelings and perceptions offered by a diverse UNLV Department of Art faculty, who serve as a rich and vital resource for the contemporary art scene. The department’s graduate curriculum offers various tracks of emphasis, which are indicative of the general declarations, visions, or centers of tendencies for the dissemination of modernist aesthetic and artistic precepts. Although fundamentally aimed at an enrichment of life and mind through advanced study in studio art, the M.F.A. course of study is also designed to provide training and experience for those students interested in careers as professional artists.

The graduate program, a three-year curriculum consisting of 60 credit hours of instruction, may be taken leading to the Master of Fine Arts degree in any one of the following seven areas: ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, or graphic design. The National Association of Schools of Art and Design has fully accredited the graduate program. A number of graduate assistantships and private studio spaces are available to assist and support students in their pursuit of the M.F.A.
