In most areas of study, students have the option of enrolling in a master's or doctoral programme to continue their education. Students interested in the creative arts might consider pursuing a Master of Fine Arts (MFA). An MFA is a two- or three-year programme in filmmaking, creative writing, visual arts, photography, graphic design, dance, theater, and other performing arts. It's an applied arts programme for students who want to become professional working artists. The vast majority of MFA courses are performance-oriented, rather than equal parts liberal and performing arts. The Master of Fine Arts is not to be confused with the Master of Arts. An MFA is an academic programme concentrated on one particular area of study. MA programs are a bit more liberal arts-based by nature, and they include a scholarly study of the subject. In the United States, an MFA is recognised as a terminal degree, meaning it's the highest degree available in a field of study. It's also the minimum qualification in order to become a full-time professor at a college or university in MFA-related disciplines. PG Level: To pursue an Art programme at degree or PG Diploma level candidates should complete their graduation in Arts with the minimum percentage stipulated by a particular university/ college in which they are seeking admission. Syllabus of an Arts programme depend on the type of course (Fine/ Visual/ Performing) as well as the specialisation (drawing, sculpture, painting, film-making, painting, music, drama, singing, dance, etc.) that a candidate is pursuing.
