艺术系为学生提供视觉艺术教育，这是全面教育经验的组成部分。我们的学位课程提供有关视觉艺术的美学和理论的密集专业教育。将对学生进行技能和智力意识方面的培训，这些技能和知识意识是未来视觉艺术领域创新和专业成就的基础。艺术学士学位在UNLV专注于雕塑实践，主要围绕实践知识和概念发展。学生将掌握在木材，金属和灰泥等传统媒体中制作艺术品的技能，然后扩展到更具概念挑战性的问题和方法。批判技能是全班发展的，而历史和当代的例子则通过讲座进行讨论。学生将以物理和概念技能离开该计划，从而可以开始美术实践，就业或进阶学习机会。
The B.A. in Art with a concentration in Sculpture at UNLV centers around practical knowledge and conceptual development. Students attain the skills to fabricate artworks in traditional media such as wood, metal and plaster, and later expand to more conceptually challenging questions and methods. Critique skills are developed as a class, while historical and contemporary examples are discussed through lectures. Students leave the program with physical and conceptual skills that can lead to the beginning of an art practice, employment or advanced learning opportunities.
