Master Of Fine Arts

Art stands at the intersection of culture, politics, religion, and philosophy, making it an ideal vantage point to understand the liberal arts and the world. Underwood University’s Department of Art offers students two tracks for studio art study: Painting or Ceramics. Both concentrations foster rigorous, critical investigation through active learning processes in which students connect historical discourse with an engagement of art from multiple contemporary perspectives. The senior year capstone experience allows studio majors to pursue intensive, original research in their respective concentrations. All students take foundation studio courses and then choose a major studio concentration in Painting or Ceramics.
