A master’s degree can often be completed in two years or fewer. However, most programs require a bachelor’s degree before enrollment.

What is an MA in Illustration? In an illustration master’s degree program, students may study a range of concepts to help them develop their artistic skills and style. Courses in a program may cover drawing, techniques, illustration markets, digital illustration and composition of illustrations. A program will typically focus on helping scholars develop a well-rounded portfolio of work while also encouraging them to advance their skills. Students may also learn about keeping work original and developing entrepreneurial skills.

After completing a program, graduates should have a completed portfolio that showcases their individual skills and style that can be used to secure work. They may also have developed skills that help them to find potential employment or start a business of their own.

The costs of a program are influenced by many factors. It is best for students to check with their chosen schools for accurate cost information as well as information on scholarships, grants and other forms of financial aid.  

After graduation, scholars are prepared to begin work as illustrators. While most will work under the job title “illustrator,” there are other titles for which they may qualify. These include character designer, book illustrator, digital artist, art director, graphic artist, game designer and storyboard artist. Graduates may find work in a variety of fields with a range of companies. Jobs may be found with different employers, such as motion pictures, books, television and newspapers. Some graduates may choose to start their own business or work on a freelance basis under contracts with different companies.
