| Undergraduate degrees include the B.A. in studio art and B.F.A. in Sculpture. A minor in studio art is also available to non-majors. Graduate degrees include the M.A. and M.F.A.
Recent changes to the sculpture facility and curriculum have allowed for a broader range of course selection, philosophical inquiry and specific instruction in a variety of materials.
Emphasis is placed on the development of the individual artist to produce and critically evaluate his or her own work and the work of peers. Concepts and ideas are stressed along with materials and processes. Studio facilities include a fully equipped woodshop and metalshop and a bronze foundry with investment and ceramic shell processes.
Beginning courses encourage the exploration of the fundamental principles of three-dimensional form with projects designed to create a historical awareness while questioning conventional techniques. Advanced students initiate their own projects guided by critical evaluation and technical advice and assistance. Graduate students participate in group workshops, critiques, and seminars and receive individualized attention while pursuing their own work and courses of study
