Columbia University School of the Arts

The Visual Arts Program attracts emerging artists of unusual promise from around the world. The 2-year studio program is interdisciplinary & offers an MFA degree in Visual Arts rather than in one specific medium. Taught by internationally celebrated artists, students pursue moving image, new genres, painting, photography, printmaking, & sculpture. Students have many opportunities to expand the depth & complexity of their studio practice as well as their ability to think critically in the context of contemporary art theory. The MFA Sound Art program, offered in association with the Visual Arts MFA Program, the Department of Music, & the Computer Music Center, allows students the opportunity to pursue creative work in a variety of genres & focus on the integration of sound with other media.
