Master of Fine Arts [M.F.A] [Writing] From School of Art Institute of Chicago

The two-year program provides a rigorous yet flexible curriculum to challenge and accommodate individual explorations of process and form.

Electives?offer students an opportunity to engage with interdisciplinary study in the context of an acclaimed school of art and design. MFAW students are encouraged to work with their advisors to develop a plan that takes advantage of adjacent fields of study, such as performance, film, sculpture, arts journalism and art history, as well as many other possibilities, to best support their continued growth.

Thesis?is the major creative project that all MFAW students submit during their final?semester. There are no restrictions on genre or content--for some, it reflects an overall plan and design of a finished book; for others, it?s a means of documenting their graduate?work and/or process; yet others use it as an opportunity to put together a collection that adopts variant strategies in relationship to their engagement with interdisciplinary work.
