The Creative Pulse 2-Year Plan

Students may take the ten one-week sessions individually or may enroll in the entire program and work toward a Master of Arts in Fine Arts degree in Integrated Arts and Education.  Whether students take courses individually or apply to the degree program, all students must be admitted to The University of Montana Graduate School; early application is advised.

A full master’s program takes two consecutive summers (five weeks each summer in residence), along with independent studies which include a credited Field Project and a Final Creative Project.

Students enroll in two major components:

• The Seminars, which constitute the core academic program, consisting of five, one-week graduate seminars each summer.
• The Studio Program consisting of personal performances, practicums, presentations to work, and “hands-on” work with practicing artists in order to develop additional areas of artistic expression.
