The Print Media and Photography graduate program at �þ��ҹ��ӰԺ��ѹۿ� aims to strengthen the students’ personal vision through emphasis on the conceptual aspects of the printmaking and photography disciplines.

Facilities include fully equipped studios for lithography, etching, relief, silkscreen, digital media, darkroom for processing black-and-white film, semi-private graduate studio adjacent to the shop, and access to a school-wide digital fabrication lab. Students work closely with full-time faculty, providing them with individual instruction and mentorship during their education at �þ��ҹ��ӰԺ��ѹۿ� State.

The School of Art offers the Master of Arts degree in Studio Art and the Master of Fine Arts degree in Print Media and Photography. Enrollment is deliberately kept small enough to make possible the individual instruction deemed essential for a quality professional graduate education.
