The sculpture program offers courses that explore a wide range of processes and techniques including: woodworking and fabrication (table saw, radial saw, 2 band saws, scroll saw, planer, jointer, drill press); clay modeling, molding and casting in plaster and plastics; metal fabrication with electric arc, MIG and TIG welding, oxy/acetylene welding / cutting and plasma cutting. A recently installed foundry includes a Speedy Melt furnace, gantry crane and wax burnout kiln, facilitating aluminum and lost wax bronze casting. While the initial study in sculpture begins with traditional clay modeling, students are also introduced to Installation Art, Environmental Art, Conceptual Art and Performance Art. The curriculum facilitates a functional knowledge of the history and theory of sculpture, an understanding of aesthetic principles, and their application to sculptural works.

Sculpture class enrollments are limited to insure safe and adequate working space, as well as to encourage students toward larger scaled undertakings. The new SAC courtyard gives students the opportunity to work beyond the classroom and into a more public realm.
