Sample Degree Plan: B.F.A. in Sculpture

The Department of Art and Design at Southern Miss offers a B.F.A. with an emphasis in Sculpture. Within the emphasis, students can concentrate in sculpture or ceramic media. Students begin by completing a Foundations Program (Design I and II, Drawing I and II, and 3D Design). After successful completion of Foundations courses one can apply for the formal degree plan.

Foundation requirements:

All students are admitted into the Department of Art and Design as art majors. 15 hours of designated general education requirements must be completed with a 2.0 overall grade point average. Students must complete ART 101, ART 102, ART 111, ART 112, and ART 113, for a total of 15 credit hours, achieving a 2.5 GPA on these courses or permission of the department chair.

When a student is in the last semester of completing the foundation requirements, the student should contact his advisor in his/her area of concentration. The review process for acceptance into an area of study is determined by the faculty within that area.
