Sculpture - Bachelor of Fine Arts

Program Total Credits: 123

The Sculpture Department’s aim is to provide a sound, balanced exposure to all the formal, technical, and intellectual aspects of art, in preparation for the student’s continued professional growth beyond the undergraduate years. To this end, our curriculum is structured to provide formal and technical instruction, while at the same time allowing for individual creative development. Junior and Senior classes engage the student in discussions on sculpture theory, philosophy, and critical thought.

Foundation Year Credits: 33

All Freshman students (and transfer students who lack sufficient background in the visual arts and design) enter the 18-credit Foundation core program that includes courses in drawing, two-dimensional design, three-dimensional design and time-motion studies. The Foundation program introduces the basic language and processes of the visual arts and prepares the students for entry into a major department. Through Freshman elective course offerings, students are introduced to major course options and opportunities offered by the College of Art and Design.

Foundation students are eligible to select any College of Art and Design major program regardless of the Foundation sequence they complete.
