Master of Fine Arts in Studio Arts

Detail from MFA Judith Salmon's 2007 Thesis Exhibition

The M.F.A. is a 60-credit graduate degree in studio art offered by Johnson State in conjunction with the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont. Students in this low-residency program work with resident and visiting artists from both programs and typically finish their studies in three to four years.

Founded in 1984, the Vermont Studio Center is an ideal creative community embracing serious advanced artists of different ages, approaches, and levels of development. Sharing a commitment to the creative process, these artists come together at the Vermont Studio Center throughout the year to develop their work through distraction-free, intensive studio work in drawing, painting, sculpture and mixed media.
