The MFA curriculum fosters the development of a sustained artistic practice through exploration, experimentation, and intensive studio work and study. Opened in Fall 2019, the UCLA Margo Leavin Graduate Art Studios provide individual and communal work spaces for MFA art students with a flexible design that considers the nature of contemporary artistic practice. The six areas of study—ceramics, interdisciplinary studio, new genres, painting and drawing, photography, and sculpture—are supplemented by contemporary critical theory seminars. Students are encouraged to work across areas of study within the department.

Official, specific degree requirements are detailed in <a href="https://grad.ucla.edu/academics/graduate-study/program-requirements-for-ucla-graduate-degrees/">program requirements for UCLA graduate degrees</a>, available at the Division of Graduate Education website. In many cases, more detailed guidelines may be outlined in announcements, other publications, and websites of the schools, departments, and programs.
Additional guidelines are outlined on the <a href="http://www.art.ucla.edu">Department of Art</a> website.
