Memphis College of Art

MFA in Studio Art
MFA in Photography

Memphis College of Art has two MFA programs: the MFA in Studio Art and the MFA in Photography. The MFA in Studio Art Program is a transdisciplinary program that allows students to work in photography but other mediums as well. The MFA in Photography is a program that expects students to work with photographic imagery but can be informed by other studio techniques.

The MFA in Photography program allows students to develop their aesthetic and conceptual core while working in the medium of photography. Students work with graduate advisors to develop a photographic body of work that is contemporarily relevant while challenging the genre of photography.

Photography is an ever-changing medium and therefore students are allowed to work traditional or experimental aspects of photography. The flexible studio electives allow students to work with imagery while developing technical proficiency in photography, book making, papermaking, metals or any of the studio classes offered at MCA.
