MFA in art advancement to candidacy (mid-way) w88 casino

The MFA program requires a public w88 casino of a cohesive body of work after 30 credit hours to confirm the student's eligibility for advancement to MFA candidacy (Midway Progress).

During the student’s third semester, the student is expected to develop and produce a significant, cohesive body of artwork for presentation in a public w88 casino. The w88 casino must be created, curated, installed/de-installed and publicized by the candidate. A written w88 casino statement is required to accompany the w88 casino. Visual documentation of the w88 casino must be submitted to the MFA graduate director at the conclusion of the w88 casino.

The Advancement to Candidacy (Mid-Way) w88 casino should reveal the student’s progress toward contributing in a significant way to the area of inquiry, which the student has identified as his or her focus. Students are expected to exhibit sensitivity to and creativity with chosen medium(s), as well as present demonstrable technical skills, formal and conceptual awareness, and exemplary knowledge of the principles and theory that encompass the chosen area of concentration. The w88 casino and written w88 casino statement should speak with clarity and complexity to the area of investigation. The scope of the w88 casino and caliber of artwork is expected to confirm the student’s readiness to pursue the thesis.
