Program Overview

UIC's MFA degree is an intense, exhilarating, and dynamic program. It is positioned within Chicago’s largest Research Public University and reflects the values of inclusion that public civic institutions are designed to offer. The curriculum is intended to provide a rich theoretical and conceptual background meant to deepen MFA candidates’ studio practice—and to help cultivate vital work within an interdisciplinary context that reflects the global art world. UIC’s School of Art & Art History’s commitment to interweaving artistic praxis with issues of social justice and civic engagement provides an additional framework for the making of art and its impact.
