As you pursue creative work in a lively, interdisciplinary environment, you respond to social, cultural, and professional needs while engaging in entrepreneurial opportunities that stretch across art and design practices. An individual faculty mentorship and formal committee reviews guide you toward mastery of your discipline as a practitioner. Most credits are earned through one-on-one work with a faculty mentor. Others are earned through critique and liberal arts seminars, as well as a range of engaging educational opportunities, including an optional internship. The final year culminates in a capstone thesis exhibition and paper. Combined, this advanced degree affords you many career opportunities in studio work, as well as the opportunity to teach. Mentorship MCAD’s MFA program pivots around a rigorous one-on-one mentor-based model. As a graduate student you will work closely with a mentor who is an expert in your chosen field.
