Grad students in Art Video mix freely with fellow graduate students and faculty in photography, film, computer art, sculpture, painting, printmaking, etc. through elective studies and collaborative initiatives.</span></p><div><span> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Transmedia and Syracuse University offer a wide range of academic options including media art history and theory courses, as well as diverse studies throughout the humanities and sciences.</span></p><div><span> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Our MFA is a three-year degree, and we offer plenty of opportunities for our grad students to teach, as TAs or adjunct instructors. This has made our graduates very successful in landing teaching jobs. Sarah Abbott, Associate Professor at the University of Regina; Malgaly Ponce, Associate Professor at Bridgewater State College; Jeremy Drummond, Associate Professor at the University of Richmond; Cary Peppermint, Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester; Edgar Endress, Associate Professor at George Mason University; are a few of our graduates who are teaching while they continue their work as media artists.</span></p><div><span> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Many of our graduates decide not to teach. Bill Viola and Jeremy Bailey are fine examples of Syracuse University alum who have decided to focus 100% of their time on their video art.</span></p><div><span> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Our Art Video faculty members (Tom Sherman, Emily Vey Duke, Cooper Battersby, Boryana Rossa) are active working artists, writers and curators dedicated to teaching.</span></p><div><span> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>We offer our graduate students solid technical support with digital camcorders, non-linear editing stations, multi-format transfer systems, DVD burners, video projectors, etc., and 24-hour access to these assets. Our critique rooms are equipped with large plasma screens and our video art archive of tapes and DVDs is second to none.</span></p><div><span> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Financial support is available through Teaching Assistantships (TA and GA support includes tuition and cash stipends) and Syracuse University Fellowships (full tuition and cash stipends completely free of GA/TA duties in the first and third years) on a competitive basis. Our tuition rates for graduate studies are competitive with public universities and are lower than virtually all other private universities.</span></p><div><span> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Syracuse has a burgeoning media arts scene with a lot happening on campus and off. Spark Contemporary Art, SU's Warehouse Gallery, Light Work, the Syracuse International Film Festival, the Urban Video Project and the Everson Museum of Art feature screenings and exhibitions throughout the year.
