Program Features
BFA
The Sculpture area offers a range of studio courses in traditional and digital sculpture that focus on technical, conceptual and aesthetic aspects of the medium as well as theory, history, criticism and contemporary practice. These courses are designed to provide a foundation for independent artists who use sculpture as a medium of expression. As a studio art major with an emphasis in sculpture, you can take up to six regular courses in the area as well as special topics courses and independent study hours. Non- Art Majors can also take multiple sculpture classes but must meet the letter grade requirements to enroll in the successive course.
