BFA Visual art majors may pursue a concentration in 3D studio. This concentration is designed to meet the needs of students who are interested in pursuing an advanced degree or professional studio practice in 3-dimensional media such as Ceramics, Sculpture, and/or Mixed Media. In their upper-level courses, students will focus on gaining experience in a variety of 3-dimensional media. This will prepare them to develop a cohesive body of advanced-level artwork during the senior year, which will be exhibited in a Senior Show.
