THE PROGRAM
The program’s internationally accomplished faculty is actively engaged in a range of disciplines and areas that include art and cultural theory, art history, film, video, sound, architecture, digital media, print media, photography, performative studies, painting, spatial arts and related courses in the Humanities, Sciences and Engineering. A significant number of the permanent faculty hold joint or affiliate appointments with other departments such as the Media Arts & Technology graduate program, History of Art and Architecture, Asian American Studies, Comparative Literature and Film Studies. The department also maintains affiliate appointments with current faculty in History of Art and Architecture, English and German & Slavic Studies.
Students are given the opportunity to work one-on-one with faculty who are involved in a wide range of research practices. In conjunction with an intensive curriculum which includes theory, studio critique seminars, professionalism, a range of directed media research courses, and the department’s visiting artist lecture symposia, the study program provides graduate students with direct exposure to professional artists who visit individual graduate students’ studios.
The department wishes to attract motivated students who will benefit from interaction with a diverse and challenging faculty in an environment that offers focused research within a compelling natural setting while gaining exposure to the opportunities presented in the urban centers of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
