A Ph.D. in Drawing and Painting is typically a 4-6 year program that provides advanced training in the theory, practice, and critical analysis of visual art forms. Art history, aesthetics, and current art criticism are taught with studio-based tuition in drawing, painting, and allied media. In order to produce a dissertation that significantly advances the scientific knowledge of drawing and painting as expressive arts, students often combine their own creative practice with unique research. Students can interact with different visual arts disciplines as well as disciplines like cultural studies, psychology, and digital media because the curriculum promotes interdisciplinary research. The Ph.D. program's graduates are equipped for professions in academia, museum curation, arts administration, arts education, and other fields where their expertise in the theory and practice of drawing and painting can be applied.
