The depart=

<\/div>\n
A terminal degree is the highest degree =
\nearnable in a given field of study. Usually is a PhD. The only exc=
\neptions exist in the fields of applied arts such as creative writi=
\nng, graphic design, fine arts, video art and interactive design, where an MF=
\nA is the terminal degree. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For example, an MFA=
\n right now is the terminal degree for game design and game art because =
\nthere is no PhD in game design. A PhD is the terminal degree for game develo=
\npment (programming as opposed to design). MPS is not a terminal degree in th=
\ne fields of art, design, media, journalism and education because there are M=
\nFA, Ed.D and PhD in these fields.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Terminal Master p=
\nrograms are often designated by specific descriptive titles such as Master o=
\nf Education (M.Ed), Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A) or Master of Architecture (M=
\n.Arch). Typically a terminal Master takes more time than a non-terminal Mast=
\ner to complete (1-2 vs. 2-3 years) Some academic art institutions even use t=
\nhe MA (Master of Art) degree (30 credits) as a prerequisite for final accept=
\nance into MFA candidacy. An MFA also requires the completion of ce=
\nrtain amount of credits in art history and philosophy.<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
MFA is usually a requirement to teach art and design at the rank of=
\n assistant professor. I don’t know about other fields. <\/div>\n

CUNY officially categorizes the MPS as a non-terminal deg=

Midori. Hope you and family are well. =
\nThis caught my eye from the below email “If we can make a strong case f=

since I’m looking for academic teaching jobs. I thought an MPS WA=
