Competition for admission is rigorous. Every effort is made each year to select a class of considerable diversity, from functional potters to object makers, from vessel makers to those working with mixed-media installation. The MFA faculty consider the mastery of conceptual and technical skills to be essential. Additionally, a national and international cultural awareness, along with a knowledge of history, are expected. Students work closely with individual faculty members on a day-to-day basis, developing a body of work which is presented in a final MFA exhibition.
