The MFA Computer Art department is dedicated to producing digital artists of the highest caliber. This is accomplished through a progressive curriculum, a faculty comprised of well-known working professionals, state-of-the-art facilities and our location in New York. Students follow a broad curriculum, including studio work, art history and programming. Areas of specialization include telecommunications, interactive multimedia, animation and installations. Interdisciplinary study is also encouraged. Graduate student creative work has appeared in many international venues, including the SIGGRAPH Electronic Theater, Art Show and Screening Room, Prix Ars Electronica, Whitney Biennial, Annecy, Hiroshima and New York Animation Festival. Students come from all over the world geographically and bring diverse cultural heritages and artistic influences to their studies. It is expected that graduates of this program will become leaders in redefining the computer art field and be instrumental in charting its future course.
