New Graduate Degrees in Fine Arts Now Offered at University of
Lethbridge


March 19, 2009 - 11:53 am 

Commencing in September 2009, the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University
of Lethbridge introduces two new graduate degree programs in the
creative arts, a Master of Fine Arts and Master of Music.

"The introduction of these two new degrees marks a major step in the
Faculty's strategic objective of providing an advanced research-based
education  in four disciplines: art,  dramatic art, music, and new
media," says Dr. Desmond Rochfort, Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts.
 
Building on the Faculty's acknowledged strength of providing a first
class undergraduate education in the creative arts, these new Masters
degree programs offer those wishing to pursue graduate education in the
Fine Arts the opportunity to be part of a community of intensely active
faculty practitioners and scholars. Supporting an environment of
experimentation and innovation as well as the pursuit of disciplinary
excellence and expertise, this community also provides graduate students
with opportunities to pursue integration of their practice with new
technologies and cross-disciplinary projects between the Fine Arts, the
Humanities, the Sciences, and Social Sciences. 

Located in the Centre for the Arts, the four departments of Art, Music,
New Media, and Theatre and Dramatic Arts are supported by excellent
studios and resourced with a wide range of outstanding technical
workshop, performance and digital facilities. Together these sustain the
widest range of creative practice, experimentation, and innovation.
 
The M.F.A. and M.Mus. degrees are two-year, full-time, research-based
programs. The University of Lethbridge is committed to providing
adequate financial support for all graduate students and, therefore,
guarantees a minimum of $1,000 per month for the 24 months of study. The
M.F.A. (Dramatic Arts) also offers a $1,000 entrance scholarship for
students specializing in design.

May 1 is the application deadline for the M.F.A. and M.Mus. programs,
which commence in fall 2009.
