The department will have to make the case for the ca=

<\/div>\n
A terminal =
\ndegree is the highest degree earnable in a given field of study.&n=
\nbsp;Usually is a PhD. The only exceptions exist in the fields of a=
\npplied arts such as creative writing, graphic design, fine arts, video art a=
\nnd interactive design, where an MFA is the terminal degree. <\/div>\n
=
\n<\/div>\n
For example, an MFA right now is the terminal degree for game=
\n design and game art because there is no PhD in game design. A PhD is t=
\nhe terminal degree for game development (programming as opposed to design). =
\nMPS is not a terminal degree in the fields of art, design, media, journalism=
\n and education because there are MFA, Ed.D and PhD in these fields.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Terminal Master programs are often designated by specific d=
\nescriptive titles such as Master of Education (M.Ed), Master of Fine Arts (M=
\n.F.A) or Master of Architecture (M.Arch). Typically a terminal Master takes =
\nmore time than a non-terminal Master to complete (1-2 vs. 2-3 years) Some ac=
\nademic art institutions even use the MA (Master of Art) degree (30 credits) =
\nas a prerequisite for final acceptance into MFA candidacy. An MFA also requi=
\nres the completion of certain amount of credits in art history and=
\n philosophy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
MFA is usually a requirement to t=
\neach art and design at the rank of assistant professor. I don’t know ab=
\nout other fields. <\/div>\n

CUNY officially categor=
