Graduate Seminar I Lecture

Required for MFA1 students in Graphic Design, and
must also register for AGRA-502. Course open to
MFA Graphic Design students only.
The MFA1 year of Graduate Seminar is comprised of
a series of structured projects and prompts
intended to help students develop and discover
formal, conceptual and ideological areas of
focus. The short time period of each project
encourages experimentation, risk-taking, and
imaginative responses. MFA students have the
option to experiment with a range of different
media and ideas, or focus on different ideas
within the same medium, or pursue similar
concepts/agendas within different media. This
flexibility accommodates students with a wide
range of educational needs and prepares them with
the formal and conceptual skills to produce a
thesis. The lecture component of this class
focuses on group discussion, led by faculty,
surrounding areas of interest pertaining to each
specific project.
