What will I learn?

The MFA program at the University of Guelph offers seven graduate students per year an ideal environment in which to challenge and develop their art practice. Exceptionally committed graduate faculty and limited student enrolment result in a community that is intensely engaged in contemporary art and its discourse. A vigorous program of visiting artists extends this communityCourse work is structured over a period of four semesters of full-time study. In weekly seminars, students investigate issues central to contemporary practice and pedagogy. Upon completion of course work, degree candidates present a thesis to an external examiner andtheir faculty advisory committee. The thesis is comprised of a professional exhibition of artwork, a written support paper, and an oral examination three components that represent a thorough and integrated art practice.
