Graduate Programs

Mount Royal School of Art (Multidisciplinary MFA)

Mount Royal School of Art is a multidisciplinary MFA program that supports student artists in developing an intensive, critical, and imaginative art practice – in an exciting and diverse community enriched by a broad selection of established artists, museum curators, and collectors. 

By encouraging students to experiment – within one medium or across many media – and to synthesize research from various experiences, interests, and disciplines, the program prepares the cohort to imagine an art for the future.
