About the UC Berkeley Art Practice MFA Program

The Department of Art Practice at UC Berkeley offers a two-year Masters of Fine Arts Degree headed by our faculty of internationally-recognized artists, and enriched by a roster of affiliate faculty from multiple departments across campus. We offer professional art training in the context of a rich and distinguished liberal arts and sciences university.

UC Berkeley’s Art Practice MFA program is committed to artistic innovation and intellectual rigor. The program aims to broaden the productive, conceptual, and critical faculties of students in their pursuit of careers as professional artists. Our cohort of graduate students is intentionally intimate: we graduate 6 students per year, and our program is multi-disciplinary. Our low faculty-student ratio facilitates regular one-on-one instruction. Group critique and peer review are integral components of the program. We encourage students to explore a wide range of media, and to pursue electives taken departments outside Art Practice, as well as within our own studio and critical theory courses. Distinguished visiting artists provide a supplementary lecture and studio visit curriculum to MFA students.

The UC Berkeley Art Practice MFA culminates in an MFA thesis show at the internationally recognized Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA).
