Graduate School

If you plan to continue your studies toward an advanced degree, the Career Center can help. Many artists and designers choose to advance their skills through a graduate education. You might want to refine a focused body of work, gain business and entrepreneurship savvy, or prepare for a career in arts education. 

Becoming an Educator

To teach at the college level, you’ll likely need an MFA. And if you want to teach art at the K–12 level, you’ll need a master’s degree plus a teaching certificate.
