Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture
The Sculpture program seeks to provide a platform for developing contemporary explorations of both traditional sculpture materials and methodologies and the engagement of the broadest array of emerging and alternative strategies and tactics. The faculty and staff of the Sculpture program maintain a deep commitment to the development and expansion of the work of graduate students while producing and disseminating their own work. Graduate students have access to faculty and facilities across the School and College and are encouraged to meet with the many visiting artists and presenters hosted throughout the year.
This program is an intensive three-year experience. The first and second years are primarily devoted to studio, seminar, art history, and elective coursework. During the third year, there is a pure dedication to studio time in preparation for the Thesis Exhibition. As part of this three-year studio experience, the student will have individual and group meetings with faculty, interaction with peers in and outside of the Sculpture Area, and will participate in graduate critiques. A normal full-time academic load is 15 credit-hours per semester and progress toward the degree is guided by the student’s graduate review committee members to the successful completion of 90 credit hours over the course of six semesters.
