The MFA and MA program at NJCU is a dynamic, personal, and demanding curriculum that offers an intense and close relationship with faculty and colleagues in a state of the art facility.  Each student is provided with dedicated studio space and full access to the Art Department’s production resources – including painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking and digital labs.  Our faculty will work with you on an individual basis, providing a consistent guide as you proceed through your studies.  Intense one-on-one and group critiques are the core evaluative methodology of the program along with an intense study of art historical practice and contemporary theory. 

NJCU’s demographic mix and its important place in the community afford our students a rich cultural and arts environment from which to draw and interact.  Our proximity and professional connections to New York City offer a global perspective and opportunities for career development.
