The curriculum is interdisciplinary and tailored to each individual's needs. Students participate in a combination of required graduate courses, elective courses from across disciplines and independent advanced course work that supplement skill base and theoretical interests that apply to the student's M.F.A. project.

As a result of the interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum, students can work with faculty from across campus as well as within the fine arts expertise (in game theory and development, digital video and audio, environmental/sustainable design, installation and performance art, 3-D digital imaging, public art, sculpture, printmaking, painting, ceramics and electronic media). Students are encouraged to seek their advisers' permission to take classes offered through other programs if the class content supports the student's thesis. Up to 12 hours of other course work can be substituted for requirements with written pre-approval.
