Responsibility is placed on the individual student to find personally meaningful content and an effective means to express that content within the ceramic arts.The ceramics program features a complete and varied line of kilns, wheels and other equipment. Faculty members ensure that students learn the techniques and concepts that enable them to take their work in any direction they wish. A guest artist schedule enhances the program as does the Ceramics Research Center at the ASU Art Museum, which has a collection of more than 4,000 pieces and provides unparalleled opportunities to study and research the ceramic arts.Students declare their Bachelor of Fine Arts concentration at the time of their ASU admission.
