The Master of Fine Artin VisualCommunicationHerron’s graduate program in visual communicationdesign emphasizes applied research in designthinking and design methods. The program advancesmastery (and the invention, development andrefinement) of design research methods as a path forany and all of the following outcomes:

• to prepare professional designers for valuable(and valued) roles as collaborative leaders ofcreative problem-solving in organizations,institutions and communities;

• to advance excellence in the processes andpractices of designing as a set of professionalactivities;

• to prepare design leaders for evolving (andchallenging) roles as design mentors andeducators to future generations; and

• to expand the disciplinary knowledge of designingthrough scholarship

Research activities in the program areinterdisciplinary in nature and focus inquiry in thefollowing areas:


1. Designing as a set of creative problem solvingprocesses including Identifying Patterns &Framing Insights, Exploring Ideas and ConceivingPlans, Prototyping & Optimizing Proposals, andImplementing Solutions.

2. Designing as a set of innovation creationprocesses including Breaking Patterns (Inventing)and Optimizing Patterns (Improving).

3. Designing as a set of human-centeredunderstanding processes including ModelingExperiences, Advocating Empathy, UntanglingComplexity and Visualizing Relationships.

All research occurs within a defined territory thatinvestigates, defines and advances the role of designthinking and design action for driving businessinnovation, stewarding organizational leadership,shaping public policy and enhancing direct democracy.

In the first year, students focus on the mastery ofdesign research methodologies with particularemphasis on understanding audiences and contexts.Students conduct primary research using advanceddesign research methods. Students apply user-centered research findings by participating in real-world community-based projects. All students engagein the design process using a creative problem-solving framework that requires collaborative andcross-disciplinary approaches.

In the second year, students focus on the mastery ofdesign leadership skills for managing processes forchange and innovation to improve the experiences ofbusinesses, institutions, organizations, communitiesand individuals. Students define, develop and defendan applied action research thesis project to serve as acase study demonstration of the power of design toclarify, humanize and energize the issues that arecentral to life in a pluralistic society.

The interdisciplinary, collaborative nature of theprogram requires students to participate in theprogram as a cohort of colleagues. Thus, the majorityof the work in the program is performed within ashared learning community that requires students tobe present throughout the graduate residencyexperience.

The program of study is 60 credit hours distributedequally across four semesters. Fifteen credit hours ofcourse work each semester will be coordinated andco-requisite. The MFA graduate program in VisualCommunication requires full-time study within anacademic residency.

ThesisTo complete the degree, students are required todefine, develop and defend a written thesis andcompanion capstone project. A master thesis is adocument authored by a student that describes resultsof original research undertaken by that student andasserts a position that is defensible in an academiccontext. This position should not be construed toprohibit joint or collaborative research endeavors. Itis expected, however, that in such a situation, uniqueaspects of the broad problem will be explored byeach individual and that the thesis written andpresented to the final examining committee will be apersonal document describing the student’s creativeeffort and contribution. Students should speak with

their advisor early in their graduate careers whenconsidering a collaborative thesis project. An onlineversion of the Guide to Preparation of Theses andDissertations is available by visiting www.iupui.edu/~resgrad/grad/Theses-Dissertation.pdf.

Graduate Admission for theMFA in Visual CommunicationAdmission into the Visual Communication graduateprogram is competitive. The Department of VisualCommunication seeks graduate candidates who havestrong skills for thinking critically about complexissues and working collaboratively in teams thatrepresent a diversity of perspectives.

Applicants ordinarily will be expected to holdbaccalaureate degrees from colleges or universities ofrecognized standing prior to registration as graduatestudents. Applicants for a master’s degree programshould have achieved a 3.0 (out of 4.0) grade pointaverage or higher for the baccalaureate degree orhave other indicators of outstanding academicperformance.

Students entering the MFA degree program in VisualCommunication Design are not required to have anestablished background in design or art. The VisualCommunication Design program at Herronencourages cross-disciplinary research approachesand experiences. However, applicants who do nothave a prior educational background in design orprofessional design experience may be required tosuccessfully complete foundational pre-graduatestudies in design before being accepted to initiate theMFA curriculum. One or two semesters offoundational Pre-Graduate pre-graduate studies maybe required before full admission into the MFAprogram in Visual Communication Design.Foundational Pre-Graduate courses in design may beoffered for graduate credit but the credit hours do notapply to completing the 60-credit hour requirementsin the MFA degree. Decisions regarding admissioninto the Foundational Pre-Graduate program aremade on an individual basis.

Options for NonmajorsElective CoursesAn important component of the Herron School of Artand Design is the Elective Arts Program. As part ofour mission to provide an educational experience inthe visual arts for the university and community,Herron offers a wide range of studio courses in thisprogram.

Beginning level classes in two-dimensional and three-dimensional media are offeredeach semester to fulfill this mission. Generally, thecourses have either no prerequisites or modestprerequisite requirements. Students can develop anappreciation for the visual arts through drawing,painting, photography, or ceramics. Enrollment in anyof these elective courses does not in itself constituteadmission to any of the Herron School of Art degreeprograms.

Whether for personal enrichment or as a requiredcomponent of a major outside of Herron, Elective Artsstudents develop artistic skills and gain a keenunderstanding of aesthetics through their ownartwork.
