The MFA in Visual Studies is a two-year multi-disciplinary and mentor-based program. The MFA in Collaborative Design is a mentor-based program focusing on experimental and interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving. And the MFA in Applied Craft + Design program, in collaboration with Oregon College of Art and Craft, is two years of hands-on designing and making. PNCA also offers a Low-Residency MFA in Visual Studies, an MA in Critical Theory and Creative Research, and MFA in Print Media.
PNCA’s undergraduate curriculum features an intensive studio experience, beginning with a foundation in basic techniques and progressing through periods of innovation and critical study, while preparing students for a sustainable life of creative practice. PNCA’s graduate programs support advanced students in visual art, craft, design, and performance as well as creative research and creative problem solving.
About the Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies
The Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies at PNCA is the result of a historic 15 million USD gift to PNCA, the largest single gift ever made to an Oregon cultural institution. At the time Hallie Ford made her unprecedented gift, she wrote in a statement that it reflected her desire “to see a globally recognized center for visual art and design education located in Oregon.” Programs offered through the Hallie Ford School of Graduate Studies include an MFA in Visual Studies, MFA in Collaborative Design, MFA in Print Media, Low-Residency MFA in Visual Studies, MA in Critical Theory and Creative Research, and an MFA in Applied Craft + Design in collaboration with Oregon College of Art and Craft.
