MassArt has a long heritage of excellence, as well as an
extremely selective admissions process. We are proud of
our world-class faculty and visiting artists and our state-of-
the-art facilities. Our urban campus, which spans an entire
city block, gives students access to over 1 million square
feet of studio, classroom, living, and exhibition space.
The opportunity to work and create in a diverse community
of innovative, hard-working artists, designers, and educators
fosters a learning environment that encourages multidisci-
plinary practice and dialogue—a central value of the graduate
programs at MassArt. This belief, shared across programs,
creates a supportive space in which students can fully develop
their vision.
In addition to coursework within their studio concentrations,
all graduate students take critical theory coursework with
both a historical and a contemporary focus. These courses
use the art and design communities of Boston and beyond
as the venues for classroom exploration.

The Post-Baccalaureate Dynamic Media Institute (DMI)
program gives students an opportunity to focus on the role,
and possible new uses of dynamic media in communication
design. This program offers professionals from outside the
design field a rigorous educational experience that will prepare
them for new opportunities including application to graduate
schools or study in our Dynamic Media Institute’s MFA program.
The Post-Baccalaureate Media Arts (Photography)
program is an intensive course of study for those seeking an
advanced level of discourse, both technical and theoretical,
about the medium of photography. The program provides an
individualized curriculum for students who wish to develop
their portfolios and skills to prepare for future graduate
school or as an end in itself.
The Teacher Preparation Program (TPP) is intended
for students who have strong undergraduate backgrounds
in studio art and who seek initial licensure as art teachers.
TPP coursework focuses on pedagogical theory as well
as pre-practicum and practicum (fieldwork) experience.
While preparation for initial licensure mandates 150 hours
of student- teaching practicum, MassArt students benefit
from 300+ hours in the classroom.
*Post baccalaureate programs require one year (24 credits) of study and may be adaptable depending on the needs of the individual student.

GRADUATE / MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE
The Master of Architecture program at MassArt combines professional require- ments with hands-on design and build experience in community-based teaching and working spaces.
The program, accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting
Board, provides students with rigorous and accessible professional
preparation for a variety of architecture related careers through
two tracks: Track I, for students with an undergraduate degree not
in architecture (102 credits in 3 years), and Track II, for those with
a B Arch degree (60 credits in 2 years). In their second summer,
Track I students join incoming Track II students to collaborate on
a community-based design then build studio.
Grounded in energy-conscious building and site design, the
coursework promotes conceptual exploration with practical
application in building systems, construction technology, ethical
practice, and cultural traditions in architecture.
Students develop a personal language of form and a responsible
design ethic through the study of current, visionary, historic, and
vernacular architectures, and experimentation with the intrinsic
properties and geometries of materials and building systems.
Critiques by faculty, guests, and visiting design/construction
professionals help students to further refine designs and vision.
Internship Development Program (IDP) counseling is offered
to students preparing for national professional registration.

The MFA: 3D Fine Arts (Fibers, General, Metals) program at MassArt allows students to work in ceramics, fibers, glass, jewelry and metalsmithing, sculpture, or across combined mediums.
The two-year (60 credit) MFA: 3D Fine Arts (Fibers, General,
Metals) program enables students to explore and embrace
their own philosophy and style; they may work with traditional
materials and processes or create technology-driven objects
using kinetic, interactive, video, or electronic elements. The
program fosters rigorous experimentation, investigation and
research of personal iconography and ideas, cross-disciplinary
work, and collaboration.
Students engage in fine arts, art history, and critical theory
courses and meet with curators and artists at galleries and
museums. They also choose a studio mentor from the college-
wide faculty to work closely with them throughout their
residency in the program. A thesis exhibition in the College’s
main gallery and an oral presentation mark the culmination
of each student’s studies.
In addition to individual studio space, students have access to
fully equipped fabrication, installation, and exhibition facilities.

The Master of Arts: Teaching/Art Education program at MassArt provides artists with the skills and training to foster a thriving art community where students are inspired to keep studio practices at the core of the educational experience.
The Master of Arts: Teaching/Art Education program (36 credits)
prepares students to earn an Initial Teacher License in Massa-
chusetts, while also providing the Master’s level coursework
requirements for a Professional Teaching License. This is the
optimal program for students who possess a strong background
in studio work and want to teach in PK-12 public or private
schools, museums, social service, or community agencies.
In addition to their coursework, students visit schools, teach
in Saturday Studios, and student-teach during a semester-long
practicum. While classic preparation for the Initial License
mandates a minimum of 150 hours of student teaching, MassArt
expects 300+ of classroom involvement.
The Initial Teacher License is granted by the State of Massa-
chusetts for a single level—either Pre-Kindergarten through
Grade 8 or Grade 5 through Grade 12. Students usually complete
the 36-credit MAT/AE program in 4 semesters, 9 credits per
semester (fall, spring, summer, and a second fall).

The MFA: Design [The Dynamic Media Institute (DMI)] program at MassArt explores the role and possibilities of dynamic media in communication design.
The 60-credit DMI MFA enables students to pursue their
thesis through a rigorous practice of research, prototyping,
and writing. With the support of peers, faculty, advisors, and
critics, their practice will culminate in a rich body of original
work and a comprehensive written thesis document.
Thesis topics range from interface design, interactive
environments, learning applications, and data visualization
to participatory narrative, sound and video installation,
smart objects, and much more. Students matriculate with
a new body of work, skills, and experience, equipped to
become a leading educator, practitioner, or entrepreneur.
The program is offered in three tracks: a two-year track in
four semesters, a three-year track in five semesters, or a three-
year track in six semesters. The only difference between the
tracks is the distribution of elective credits. DMI also offers a
one-year fellowship non-matriculating track to which students
may be accepted, based on their specific project proposal.
Admission to the DMI program is highly selective, enrolling
just eight to ten students each year.

The MFA (Low Residency): Fine Arts (Boston) program at MassArt allows mid- career artists and educators to complete a 60-credit MFA over three consecutive summers—creating a unique opportunity for study in the midst of a career.
The three-year (60 credit) MFA (Low Residency): Fine Arts
(Boston) is an ideal choice for working artists or educators who
bring a strong sense of self-direction to their learning journey.
Students develop an independent body of work which could
involve a combination of media, technologies, and techniques.
Six-week summer residencies in Boston immerse students in
an intense studio environment and foster creative collabora-
tions. During these residencies, students live on campus in the
Artists Residence or in off-campus housing of their choosing.
Between residencies, students will work under the guidance
of a regionally based artist/mentor who conducts monthly
studio visits and critiques. Online art history and critical studies
courses forge greater understanding of contemporary art
history and issues in contemporary studio practice. At the
conclusion of the program, students present in their cohort’s
thesis exhibitions and participate in final reviews on campus.
