The maximum number of credit hours that a student can take at the 6000 level is 24 hours. Studio work must include a minimum of three credit hours with at least three different professors. A written artist statement of the candidate for the M.F.A. degree is required and will be maintained in the candidate’s file in the graduate advisor’s office.
If the M.F.A. candidate is deficient in art history, i.e., has less than 15 hours of undergraduate credit in this area, then the candidate must take an additional 3 hours of art history course work.
