Graduate Studies
About
Artists change the way we see the world.
They impact local and global economies and affect the health and well-being of individuals and communities. Artists enrich our emotional world and illuminate our personal experiences. They produce structures that resonate, cause interaction, and establish connections. Artists educate.
Graduate programs at Maine College of Art & Design are designed for artists seeking a transformative learning experience who are passionate about taking risks, thinking critically, and advancing their careers. Built upon robust curricula, our graduate programs offer a dynamic and supportive learning environment for artists who want to define and pursue a vision for their art practice.
