Students may apply to either of three
degree programs:
1. Master of Fine Arts (MFA). Currently,
the Department of Media Study has faculty/research groups working in the following
areas: Independent Film and Video (including Documentary) , Robotics
, Digital Art (including Net-based Art and Digital Poetics) , Virtual
Reality/Interactive Fiction. Participants in the MFA program are invited to
join one of these groups or to combine media technologies and practices in line
with their own interests.
The MFA is a terminal degree. It is
a common prerequisite for college and university teaching careers in the Fine
Arts. Applicants are generally accepted in the spring to begin study in the
fall semester. Competition for admission slots is largely based on a portfolio
review of creative and scholarly work.
