BFA.SCULP.120 - BFA in Sculpture

2025 - 2026 | Curriculum | 4-year program

In Sculpture, the major studio course sequence forms the backbone of your student experience. During your sophomore year you focus on building basic skills, working across wood, metal, casting, performance, installation and video, while also learning about the histories of these skills.

Junior year emphasizes personal artistic voice and a deepening of skill acquisition. Through a range of studio electives and seminars covering contemporary sculpture issues, you develop command over conceptual and formal concerns and build skills on a project-by-project basis. Finally in senior year, you incorporate skills, literacies and expertise into a final degree project that you’ll include in a public group exhibition on campus.
