The B.F.A. program is a more studio-intensive program that provides in-depth professional training, and requires a higher concentration of credits earned in studio courses. The program requires 72 credits in art and art history to graduate. The sculpture program works hard to guide students through the many possibilities the medium can offer. We believe that sculpture is truly a meta-mediumone that spans the conceptual to the material. What are now independent disciplines, at one time were nurtured and developed from infancy by artists who thought of themselves as sculptors. The sculptural field is expansive accepting emerging techniques, new materials, hybrid methodologies and cross-boundary activity. We encourage our students to explore it all.<br><br>Our Goals<br>Establish a strong foundation that is structured, instills self-discipline, and introduces a variety of techniques that are based in traditional sculptural media and emerging techniques.<br>Establish a studio space that is a sanctuary for experimentation and interdisciplinary art making, a place where hybrid processes and cross-boundary activity have a forum.<br>Nurture a curriculum that will enable students to begin to identify personal interests, become increasingly self-directed and build an independent practice of art making in a complex visual culture.
