Fine Arts

The University of Pennsylvania offers a innovative interdisciplinary MFA program. Candidates in painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and time-based media work with faculty of all disciplines. Students benefit from a lively and complex cultural environment dedicated to recognizing the diversity and complexity of today’s visual arts world. Students work closely with distinguished artists, writers, curators, and critics in conjunction with a dynamic lecture series held at the Institute of Contemporary Art, on the Penn campus. In addition to seminar and studio courses within the department on a broad array of concepts and techniques, the program allows the integration of study in architecture, landscape architecture, art history, and all of the liberal arts, drawing on the full range of resources available at the University of Pennsylvania.
