U.S. News Top Fine Arts Graduate Schools

The master of fine arts program rankings are based solely on the results of a peer assessment survey. Our ranking, completed in 2008 based on surveys conducted in fall 2007, are based solely on a survey of art school deans and other top art school academics, two per school, at 220 master of fine arts programs in art and design. Respondents were asked to rate the academic quality of programs on a scale of 1 (marginal) to 5 (outstanding). Scores for each school were totaled and divided by the number of respondents who rated that school. The response rate was 39 percent. Surveys were conducted by Synovate.
