The MA/MFA ceramics program emphasizes material, technical, and conceptual exploration while encouraging innovation and interdisciplinary experimentation. It is open to all independent, self-motivated students, wishing to research aspects of ceramics including, but not limited to, the vessel, sculpture, utility and function, the figure, architectural, large or small scale, the decorative and the practical, and installation. Material and process exploration is encouraged, and the inclusion of other materials when appropriate is welcome.
Ceramics students work with all art faculty members through seminars and courses, independent studies, one-on-one critiques, and group evaluations. A full-tuition scholarship is awarded to each student accepted into the program, and there are graduate assistantships available, including one in ceramics.

Ceramics graduate studios are semi-private and spacious, overlooking a beautiful wooded
area close to the sculpture, printmaking, and painting studios. Students have 24-hour
access to the studio. The ceramics facilities include wood, salt, soda, raku kilns,
gas, and electric kilns, a full glaze lab with slip casting table and spray booth,
3D printer, clay mixers, pugmills, slab rollers, extruders, kick and electric wheels,
and raw material storage.
The graduate experience is further augmented by visiting artists and scholars, providing
perspective and connection to the contemporary ceramics community. Past visiting artists
have included Ronan Peterson, Teresa Pietsch, Kyungmin Park, Allison Rentjes, Tom
Spleth, Andrew Martin, and Liz Lurie.
