The MFA in Visual Art program at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts is an interdisciplinary program that provides students with a setting for in-depth research, intellectual generosity, and career readiness.
The program is an inclusive, close-knit community of renegade makers and thinkers that is a part of Washington University in St. Louis, a top-tier research university. Its large-scale facilities and studios act as a testing ground for ideas and materials across academic disciplines at the School and the University.
