The MFA program emphasizes a high level of production in the context of strong critical dialogue. Interdisciplinary graduate seminars serve as a meeting ground for students to address contemporary issues affecting all areas of the fine arts. In Sculpture graduate students focus on their own growth as creative individuals as they work to realize their ideas through a hands-on approach to process and materials.

In the final semester, MFA candidates focus on creating a comprehensive body of work under the guidance of a thesis committee. All Sculpture grad students produce a written thesis and participate in the RISD Graduate Thesis Exhibition, a large-scale public show held annually.
