Hands-On Learning

As a sculpture student, you will work in our state-of-the-art sculpture studios that include sand and ceramic shell mold-making facilities and a foundry for casting bronze. The three separate buildings also contain a full metal studio, a clay and plaster studio, and a mold making and wax facility. A sculpture garden next to the facilities is in the works.

The Sculpture concentration aims to develop your critical thinking and art-related technology skills within an interdisciplinary curriculum. If you’re interested in pursuing a counseling career in Art Therapy, you can take specialized advanced courses.
