Degrees offered through the Sculpture program include:
The sculpture program offers undergraduate, and graduate degrees in Sculptural practices emphasizes a balance between concept, context, and process. Students carve, cast, glue, and weld experimenting with a broad range of materials. Sculpture's emphasis on understanding the world of contemporary expression aims to strengthen and focus each student's sense of personal direction in the arts.
The BFA and MFA programs in Sculpture is a selected group of students that are expected to produce a technically and conceptually challenging body of work informed by a historical and contemporary awareness of Sculpture. The program provides a sequenced studio approach to three-dimensional creation in a variety of materials and techniques that prepare students for lifelong learnings as a professional artist or in one of the many secondary professions available to someone with a diverse background in three dimensions. Through the demonstration of techniques, materials, studio practices, and critiques, students begin to answer questions concerning conceptual content to help make the transition from assignment-based studio work to independent practice, the BFA/MFA programs includes structured and one-on-one studio critique with faculty.
