Where will an MFA take you?
CIIS’ MFA curriculum is designed to help launch or expand your professional career as an artist. Using the coursework as a guide, students have the opportunity to develop strategic tools and materials necessary to meet their professional goals while still in classes. And with an emphasis on inquiry, collaboration, and community, Interdisciplinary Arts students are adaptable and insightful, well-prepared for an ever-changing world. Our graduates are prepared to build sustainable careers in many artistic disciplines, or to put their talents to related fields like journalism, coaching, arts administration, academia, and more.
