Thinking about an MFA? The School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University prepares students for professional success through creative work and research, with concentrations in 2D; 3D; Photo/New Media; and Graphic Design.
Our MFA curriculum fosters experimentation, creative and intellectual risk-taking, and critical thinking through studio work, seminar, and cognate courses. The Studio Art program is built on strong mentorship, where graduate students will work closely with faculty who are active makers and scholars in their fields. The MFA degree is a full-time, 60-hour program that culminates in an exhibition and an optional written thesis. To learn more, visit https://www.emich.edu/art/programs/graduate-programs/mfa/index.php

Dexter’s Graphic Arts Academy and Saline’s Advanced Graphic Design & Printing classes recently attended a letterpress workshop at @EMUArtDesign led by @emugraphicdesign professor Ryan Molloy. Students spent the morning using different techniques to make backgrounds and then switched gears to typesetting to finish off their posters in EMU’s letterpress studio.
The School of Art and Design is proud to announce the opening of this year’s senior capstone exhibition, Influx. The show features a collection of works by our 2026 Winter BFA/BS graduating cohort and will be in view from April 6th through 17th. Influx roots itself in the changes and flows of life as these seniors take their next steps after graduation. The title also serves to highlight the graduating class’s size of 21 artists from various disciplines, with work ranging from 2D prints, paintings, and drawings, to 3D objects and sculptures, to digital works from the Simulation, Animation, and Gaming program.
Influx is open for viewing in Ford Gallery with a public reception on Wednesday, April 15th, from 4:30 to 7:30 PM. We hope to see you there!
Visit the Artstream tonight at 3pm for an awesome event, with all of these things and more! 💚
The Artstream will be on campus today and tomorrow all day, so don’t worry if you miss it!
