Students studying sculpture mix traditional forms (bronze, aluminum, wood and steel) and unorthodox molds (latex, plastic, ice and even butter). They enjoy nearly unlimited access to the studio and individual attention.
Sculpture majors benefit from modern facilities and contemporary equipment. The most recent addition to the Art Department was a sculpture studio, which includes an industrial-quality casting foundry.
Students pursuing a B.F.A. with an emphasis in Sculpture are required to complete 15 credit hours in art history, 64 credit hours in studio courses and three credit hours writing a B.F.A thesis.
Advanced standing in the B.F.A. program normally is granted after a student submits an application and has his/her work reviewed by the faculty. This process takes places one year prior to graduation.
If you plan on majoring in art, dance, music, or theatre, you must complete a portfolio review or audition as part of your application to Webster.

Did You Know?
Webster’s campus in Vienna is known for its thriving art programs. Generations of students, artists, and “connoisseurs of living” have sought out the city’s rich history of art, music, and museums.
Webster’s courses utilize the rich and varied resources of the city—a living laboratory of art spanning the centuries from the prehistoric Venus of Willendorf to cutting-edge contemporary art.
In fact, with more than 100 museums in Vienna alone, you can view art normally seen only in history books. Get involved with contemporary art activities through Webster courses and our internships with local artists.
