The four different graduate art degree options at CCNY are:
The [DIAP] MFA is a research-oriented community in which
students individually and collaboratively explore aspects related to
digital media art, including but not limited to, Narrative and
Non-narrative Time-based Art, Digital Cultures, Interactivity, Playable
Media, Physical Computing, Internet as Art or Communications Media, and
Spatial Mapping. DIAP promotes engagement with other disciplines in the
humanities, arts, and sciences, moving beyond the traditional studio
environment to stimulate scholarly research and create an intellectual
community of artists interested in cross-disciplinary practice.
The MFA in Studio Art is a two-year, sixty-credit program comprised of
a close-knit community of exceptional students, working with committed
faculty with expertise in a wide range of mediums and approaches to
art-making. Students working across disciplines have their own studio
spaces at CCNY in Manhattan. The first year is spent on work emphasizing
experimentation and growth, and the last year focusing those
experimentations into a solo thesis exhibition mounted in the Art
Department's gallery.
The MA
in Art Education, K-12
program prepares students to work as
reflective artist-educators who can teach in multiple settings, including
schools, community centers, museums, and alternative learning
sites. Students gain critical understanding of the social significance
of art education as they develop skills to contribute actively to the field
through creative and academic work. CCNY offers two graduate-level programs
in Art Education that lead to a Master's degree and Certification in New
York State in Art (K-12).
The MA
in Art History, with or without the Museum Studies
concentration is a
thirty-credit program that offers an array of courses that complement and
draw on New York's dynamic arts culture. The city's diverse museums and
galleries, as well as its thriving contemporary art scene are featured in
courses and are available for research internships. Internationally
recognized faculty mentor students in a variety of art-historical fields,
and the optional Museum
Studies concentration prepares students to work in a range of
art-related professions. The course also prepares students to continue
studies in a PhD program. Graduate-level art-history courses meet once a
week for three hours.
More details about each program are available on the individual
program websites.
