Master of Fine Arts in Studio
Visual Communication Design saic.edu/viscom Visual Communication Design students explore the transformative power of design as they develop their analytical skills, personal voice, and visual language. The program challenges students to actively engage the world and define their role as contributing designers working at the intersection of art, design, and mass culture.
Exploration by design Experimentation is at the core of the program. Students begin by exploring different methodologies before charting their own trajectories to pursue their interests. With access to a rich array of tools and ideas, students acquire new skills and hone their studio practice as they develop an innovative and mature body of work, culminating in projects that are critically presented in the MFA thesis exhibition.
Interdisciplinary engagement The individualized approach allows students to add new dimensions to their design by exploring other disciplines— from Printmedia and Writing to Photography, Film, Video, New Media, Animation, and Architecture. Engaging with like-minded creatives across departments allows students to make inventive and often unexpected connections in their work.
