The M.F.A. programs at the College of Fine Arts, The University of Texas at Austin, are designed for advanced professional training in the fields of visual arts (Studio Art), theatre (including Directing, Playwriting, Design), dance, and creative design & technologies. These multidisciplinary and immersive programs emphasize both conceptual and technical development, offering access to private studios, digital and analog labs, expert faculty mentorship, and dynamic opportunities for public exhibitions and performances. Students are encouraged to explore innovative and cross-disciplinary approaches while developing a professional artist’s or practitioner’s voice. The curriculum allows customization tailored to each student's interests, culminating in a thesis exhibition or performance, and frequent engagement with visiting artists and critics. The Department of Theatre and Dance, in particular, is recognized as a world-class educational environment to train the next generation of creative leaders in performance, production, and design. All MFA students benefit from a robust scholarly community and state-of-the-art facilities.
