ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ×ÊÁÏ

The Osprey Map provides a term-by-term sample schedule for each undergraduate academic program at the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ×ÊÁÏ. It is designed to guide students in the selection of courses each term. The "Mile Marker" courses are those courses that should be completed before or by the end of that term. Following the sample schedule, and completing the mile marker courses at the appropriate point of your undergraduate career, will facilitate graduation in four years. The term-by-term model assumes full-time enrollment. For students enrolled part-time, the sample schedule and mile markers should be followed based on the number of credits completed. The Osprey Map should be used in consultation with an academic advisor.

Contemporary Sculpture is interdisciplinary in nature; materials and process follow concept. In this way, we teach our students to take their ideas from initial concept through fruition, emphasizing that the medium should be appropriate to the idea and vice versa. Through research and practice, students create work that is engaging and well-crafted. Technical skill and conceptual skill are integral elements of the sculpture educational experience at ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ×ÊÁÏ. We seek students who are curious, hard-working and passionate about art. Students applying to graduate schools in the Arts, should complete the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) rather than the Bachelor of Arts (BA). Visit the Sculpture webpage and speak with Sculpture faculty for more information.
