Notes:
[a] Sculpture Studio Elective: In consultation with your Academic Advisor, students choose from a suite of electives that support their emerging studio practices.
[b] Optional Open Elective: In consultation with your Academic Advisor, Seniors in Sculpture may choose a studio elective that augments or compliments their on-going work toward their thesis presentation in the Spring semester. Students who choose to take Open Elective in the Fall of the Senior year will graduate with 129 credits.
[c] Choose a Liberal Arts, Major or Non-Major Studio Elective, depending on unfulfilled degree requirements and class availability.
The 54 credit Major requirement, the 42 credit Liberal Arts requirement, the 18 credit Major Elective requirement, and the 12 credit Non-major Studio Elective requirement must be satisfied to earn the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. To fulfill the Liberal Arts requirement, courses may be taken during Wintersession or during the Fall or Spring semesters, as scheduling and interest permits. Consult your Academic Advisor, the Liberal Arts Office or the Registrar for additional information. Sculpture Electives and Art History courses beyond the minimum are strongly recommended. Some courses from other departments may qualify for Sculpture credit. Those courses are to be selected in consultation with the Department Head.
