The BFA is a professional degree with concentrated areas of specialization, so students will take more art courses than you would in a BA program. At UMass Dartmouth, students also have the advantages of a university education where they can diversify their studies and expand their career opportunities.

Students will be exposed to the many possibilities of contemporary sculpture as they explore both theory and practice. They will learn to think critically as they develop a practical skill set directed by your interests and goals.

Sculpture students gain experience in a broad spectrum of 3D art-making approaches and genres through focused, disciplined studio practice.

Individualized instruction at every level will guide them through the almost limitless possibilities with materials, processes, and emerging genres available to three-dimensional artists today. Our goal is to create well-prepared, broadly informed artists who can fluently express their ideas three-dimensionally.
