Program Description:

Mills offers a master of fine arts (MFA) degree in studio art led by a distinguished faculty of internationally known artists. The program focuses on painting, ceramics, sculpture (including installation), photography, intermedia, video, and electronic arts. Students are encouraged to work across media boundaries. The two-year graduate program is selective, limited to 12 new students each year, and is designed to meet the demanding standards of the profession.
