Graduate Reviews, with committees made up of Graduate faculty members, take place at the end of each semester. Each MFA candidate in his/her final semester must select a thesis advisor and a thesis committee. Students must present their artwork in a Thesis Exhibition, usually installed in the Art Gallery at a designated time near the end of the spring semester. Students must also develop a written component to the Thesis (These have varied in length from five to 50 pages), and present an oral defense of the Thesis to the Thesis committee.
