The Department of Art at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa
(UHM) offers two separate but interrelated graduate programs.
The MA in art history emphasizes the arts of Asia and the
Pacific. Students may opt for Plan A (thesis) or Plan B (non-thesis).
The non-thesis program is for students wishing to teach in
community colleges or at the high school level.
The art studio programs provide students with a focused studio
specialization leading to the MFA, available only in Plan
A. The MFA is the terminal degree in studio art. The normal
period of study is three years in residence. Areas of specialization
include ceramics, electronic media, fiber, glass, graphic
design, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture.
Although most MFA applicants apply to one of the above media
specializations for admission, students may take electives
in more than one medium and are encouraged to investigate
new genres.
The department is housed in an excellent three-story facility
with painting studios, photography and computer labs, and
fully equipped printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, fiber, and
glass facilities. The UHM Art Gallery is a prominent feature
of the department's programs. Six or seven major exhibitions
are presented each year. Many exhibitions held at the gallery
have received national recognition.
