Our Work
Our faculty are nationally and internationally recognized for their diverse practices. Their work and research engage complex territories on the environment, race, politics, material culture, feminism, science, critical theory, digital technologies, and the human condition.

- interaction design
- fashion design
- time-based media
Our Community
Academics and studios are only half of the picture.
The Sam Fox School is a vibrant community of people interested in each other and the world around us. Our students are actively engaged on campus while exploring all that St. Louis has to offer — from major art museums, renowned parks, and National Historic Landmarks, to major league sports and a vibrant restaurant scene.
Jamie Lee Harris discusses the driving forces of her practice, her decision to pursue an MFA in Visual Art, and how her work has expanded in scope since coming to WashU.
Mara MacMahon, AB/BFA ’12, earned a dual degree in biology and communication design, which uniquely prepared her for her role as a character modeler and rigger at Pixar.
