With generous scholarships, access to world-class facilities, a celebrated faculty, and their own private studios, MFA students at the University of Louisville in Kentucky have the resources they need to deepen their artistic practice within a vibrant creative community. Occupying a newly renovated warehouse constructed in the 1800s, the MFA program in Studio Art and Design offers state-of-the-art studio and lab space for interdisciplinary practices or for focusing on ceramics, drawing, fiber, glass, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, design, new media, and installation.
The Department of Art + Design at the University of Louisville, endowed as the Hite Institute of Art + Design, offers an MFA as either a three-year or an optional two-year accelerated program. Led by a faculty of professional artists, scholars, and designers, the studio-intensive program encourages a multidisciplinary approach that challenges students to develop their creative practice in relation to cultural, social, philosophical, and ethical concerns while providing a broad perspective on art and social roles. The program is selective and intentionally small to foster a strong creative community, and to ensure each student has the resources they need to support their creative work, research, and national or international travel.
