Introduction
The Media Arts Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program provides the academic, aesthetic, and technical tools to make art that matters. Purchase College’s excellent production facilities, teaching, research, and public engagement opportunities provide a fertile environment for graduate art studies. Students develop their art practice within a comprehensive curriculum that includes individual mentoring by full-time faculty, collaborative work, theoretical inquiry, and the flexibility to explore their interests within Purchase College’s varied course offerings. Students work with a department of diverse faculty who are prominent in media art and technology.
The MFA in Media Arts is ideal for graduates interested in media arts, new media, digital arts, video art, or related programs to develop their practice further. We embrace an interdisciplinary post-studio approach, centering on contemporary art forms, social and political engagement, materiality, critical data studies, media ecologies, and alternative domains of cultural production and circulation. We provide the resources to create formally inventive media art, rigorously theorized, historically reflective, and socially engaged.
