Fields of Graduate Instruction - Art and Design

The Art and Design program offers an educational structure that creates a new art and design professional: one for whom artistic and practical talents are developed as different expressions of individual potential. Our objectives are to graduate highly educated art and design professionals with integrated competencies in art, design, aesthetics, hand and digital technologies, skills in the concentration and other disciplines of human knowledge. 

Areas of concentration in the Master of Art and Design are (1) Fibers and Surface Design, and (2) Animation and New Media.

Admission Requirements:  Students will be required to submit a portfolio of past work in slide or electronic format; three letters of recommendation; a statement of personal goals; and transcripts of undergraduate work (minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0). An interview will be required, but in cases of international applicants or those quite distant from NC State University, may be conducted by means of a long distance phone conversation or may be waived at the faculty's discretion.

Masters Degree Requirements: The program of study requires a minimum of 48 credit hours of graduate work depending on background preparation of the applicant.  A separate track of 60 credit hours accommodates students with insufficient background in the chosen concentration.

Other Information: We will only admit students to the program in the fall semester each year. Deadline for application is January 5.
