The University of Florida (UF) offers a three-year, full-tuition, stipend-funded MFA degree. Accepted graduate students receive health insurance, research and teaching assistantships, and individual studios at the #6 public R-1 university (U.S. News & World Report). Applications to UF’s School of Art + Art History are open until February 1, 2024.
The internationally diverse student body at UF’s School of Art + Art History (SA+AH) works within and across disciplines in state-of-the-art facilities, with studies in painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture, performance, installation, ceramics, video, art & technology, and artificial intelligence.
Students have the opportunity to engage in transdisciplinary research in a broad range of topics and practices, including art history, critical theory, social practice, race and gender studies, social and environmental justice, decolonial strategies, emerging technologies, sustainability, and ecology. UF’s College of the Arts, guided by a forward-looking meta-strategy that prepares students to access and unsettle centers of power in a radically changing world, is at the forefront of all research and teaching activities.
The SA+AH is home to the University Galleries, which hosts an international exhibition program; and UF is home to the Harn Museum of Art. Travel to Miami’s Art Week and New York supplement the curriculum. The school also maintains a robust visiting artist program. Notable artists include Abigail DeVille, Mark Dion, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Edgar Heap of Birds, Saki Mafundikwa, Kerry James Marshall, Mary Mattingly, Troy Montes Michie, Pepón Osorio, Walid Raad, Dread Scott, Michael Rakowitz, Martha Rosler, and Fred Wilson.
