MFA Degree Exhibition

0 credits · Graduate

This final exhibition is the major source of evaluation for the student's attainment of the MFA and is regarded as the equivalent of the scholarly thesis of an academic discipline. The degree exhibition is evaluated by the student's committee which submits its decision to the department for approval. Graduating students speak to their work and answer questions from the examining committee. The committee asks questions about the cultural, social and theoretical relations apparent in the student's work. Students are required to provide documentation of their graduating exhibition which is on file in the department. This documentation takes the form of slides, photographs, videotapes or other forms appropriate to the student's production.
