Undergraduate Majors and Interests
College of Visual Arts & Design
Interested in a major that you can really get your hands on? Enjoy sculpting or constructing items out of various materials? If so, you should pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art with a concentration in Sculpture at the University of North Texas.
Sculptors are often self-employed artists, showing and selling their works in museums and galleries. They also complete commissioned works for public and private entities. Studying Sculpture at UNT prepares you for such a career and grooms you to pursue an advanced degree, which is needed if you want to teach in higher education.
Among our alumni is Jesús Moroles, a renowned granite sculptor and National Medal of Arts recipient.
As a Sculpture major, you'll be challenged conceptually and technically, and much of your time will be spent creating original works. However, the curriculum also exposes you to all aspects of 3-D art and the different media in which to work, including computer-based design for digital fabrication. Our facilities include large, well-equipped studios, a foundry and indoor and outdoor studio space for stone sculpting, woodcarving, welding and casting.
The Art Building includes classrooms, a computer lab, faculty offices, a workshop and the UNT Art Gallery . Additional classrooms and laboratories, the Texas Fashion Collection and the Cora Stafford Gallery are housed in other buildings on campus.
There are opportunities to exhibit your work on campus and at local galleries. UNT's proximity to Dallas and Fort Worth also offers you a wealth of experiences and resources. To provide other insights and knowledge, we bring numerous renowned artists, designers and scholars to campus.
Sculpture faculty members are nationally and internationally acclaimed artists and scholars. They'll guide and encourage you to explore new directions in art, so you can become a well-rounded artist.
Scholarships are available to help you pursue your degree. Scholarship information is available at our website.
A Living-Learning Community brings together art and design majors who live on campus to enhance academic and social experiences. More information about the Art and Design Community is at the Living-Learning Communities website.
