M.F.A. (Master of Fine Arts) in Applied Arts is normally completed in 2-3 years and serves as the field's final degree. This degree integrates practical skills with academic understanding in fields such as graphic design, industrial design, and digital media. Students work intensively in the studio, get critiques, and complete academic coursework to develop their artistic expression and professional practice. The curriculum frequently covers art history, critical theory, and business aspects of the art world. Graduates get the opportunity to work as professional artists, designers, educators, and arts administrators. The curriculum often concludes with a thesis project and exhibition that demonstrate the student's mastery of their chosen media and conceptual development.
