The three-year, reasonably priced MFA in Studio Art program at Hunter College was created to provide artists with several possibilities to develop their work in a setting that promotes exploration, creation, and critical discourse. The outstanding faculty at Hunter engages with MFA students individually, in small seminars that emphasize group discussion and contemporary practice, and in courses on art theory, criticism, and history. Students have a comprehensive schedule of meetings with visiting artists, curators, and critics each semester. Additionally, students have the option of directly collaborating with faculty members and curators on the creation of open exhibitions at Hunter College’s three different galleries. These courses can count toward the Curatorial Certificate, a unique program offered by the department of art and art history.
The Hunter MFA Program provides students with unprecedented access to the cultural wealth and resources of New York City. It is situated in Tribeca at the intersection of Hudson and Canal Streets. The formation of professional artists capable of ongoing creative and intellectual innovation far beyond the constraints of the graduate school environment is our educational goal, and immersion in the art world is essential to achieving this goal.
