As part of their degree, all students in the Goddard College MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts complete a practicum. This requirement is an opportunity for students to reflect, through practical experience, upon their role as artists within a community, to look deeply into that relationship in ways other than construing the public as a mere audience for their work, and to explore what they are able to contribute to the larger world.
