The sculpture program works to approach students individually and provide them with the technical instruction and conceptual guidance necessary to support their artistic development.
Students concentrating in sculpture shape the physical world in response to the issues of today. Research conducted in the studio extends from a focus on objects to installation, performance, and social practice. The mission of the sculpture program is to lead through innovation. Students are encouraged to experiment with new technology and are expected to participate in a rigorous investigation of theory.
