International Direct - Bachelor of Fine Art - Studio Art - Sculpture

International direct admission to Louisiana State University (LSU) is designed for international students with advanced English-language skills. The program focuses on academic, cultural, and professional growth to help students excel in school and prepare for a successful future.

As international direct students at LSU, they will receive exclusive and rigorous academic coursework, priority access to in-demand courses, guidance from academic advisors and mentors, career development and networking opportunities, and intensive classes with domestic students.

The LSU School of Art offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Studio Art with tracks in ceramics, painting & drawing, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Each track includes courses in art history.

Students in these programs learn to work independently and collaboratively, develop a vocabulary for critiquing and discussing art, become critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, and well-rounded communicators. They gain skills, understanding, and philosophical frameworks to make their art and design practices relevant to historical and contemporary issues.

Upon this foundation, students can pursue further study in graduate school or careers as independent studio artists or professional practitioners in various fields such as film, video, computer graphics, game design, web design, and more. The concentration in Sculpture within the BFA Studio Art program provides students with a comprehensive education in 3D arts, promoting cross-disciplinary investigation and collaborative ventures.

Sculpture facilities at LSU provide a traditionally based studio environment with a range of equipment and material approaches, including a woodworking shop, welding and fabrication areas, and a foundry facility for casting bronze, aluminum, and iron. Graduates of the program have a history of success in exhibitions and professional accomplishments.
