Once the US was the only country in the world to offer a doctorate for studio artists, however the Ph D in fine art disappeared after pressures established the MFA as the terminal degree for visual artists. Subsequently, the Ph D in fine art emerged in the UK and is now offered by approximately 40 universities. Today the doctorate is offered in most English-speaking nations, much of the EU, and countries such as China and Brazil.Using historical, political, and social frameworks, this book investigates the evolution of the fine art doctorate in the UK, what the concept of a Ph D means to practicing artists from the US, and why this degree disappeared in the US when it is so vigorously embraced in the UK and other countries. Data collected through in-depth interviews examine the perspectives of professional artists in the US who teach graduate level fine art. These interviews disclose conflicting attitudes toward this advanced degree and reveal the possibilities and challenges of developing a potential doctorate in studio art in the US.
