Historical Note
The Department of Art is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of New Mexico. The department offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in Studio Art, Art Education and Art History. In the work leading to these degrees, there is a focus on the significance of the arts as communication, in the past, the present and the future. That belief is the foundation the department’s primary goal, which is to expose students to the richness of art through a wide range of new and traditional media.
Students who earn their MFA in Studio Art, often have a final project that is not a written thesis, but rather an exhibition, project, or creative work. These students are required to produce a physical product for deposit in the University Libraries. Beginning in 2015, these items were given to the University Archives. The areas where these students received their MFAs include printmaking, photography, sculpture, painting, and drawing.
