Painting students pursue artistic excellence, experimental expression, and technical mastery through rigorous work and a deep sense of dedication.
In a world steeped in imagery and new technologies, painting is timeless. It connects us to history, culture, and humanity, while grounding us in the present through deep observation and reflection.
ºìÁì½í¹Ï±¨ also offers an MFA in Studio Arts, in which students can choose to concentrate in Painting. Our full-time, two-year (60-credit) MFA Studio Arts program encourages students to experiment and explore, while refining the technical and conceptual strategies in their work.
