The Master of Fine Arts degree is offered in studio art. Candidates for the M.F.A. degree must have a B.F.A. degree or its equivalent with acceptable standing upon entrance to the program. When applying for admission, students must submit a statement of intent and a proposed area of research or study to the Head of the Department. Applicants are requested to present 20 slides, 3 letters of recommendation, official transcripts, and a University of Saskatchewan application form. Applications for admission should be made no later than February 1 for the term beginning the fall of that year.

After admission, a program of courses and research will be arranged in consultation with the department's Graduate Committee and the candidate's supervisor. Accepted candidates may concentrate in the following studio disciplines: painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography, and extended media. Applicants should anticipate a minimum of two years to complete the program requirements. Studio facilities are available for 1st and 2nd year candidates. Upon completion of the program, the department will, in consultation with candidates, select one work from M.F.A. exhibitions for the university collection.
