ACADEMIC PROGRAMS:
SPECIAL STUDENTS
The Special Student or post baccalaureate program at LSU is known nationally for providing young ceramic artists further educational opportunities in the field. Special Students are young artists who have recently completed a BFA or equivalent from another institution and are in transition to the next phase of their artistic career. These students attend LSU as non-matriculating graduate students for one academic year. Their function at LSU is vital, as they share their skills and experience from other BFA programs, artist residencies or technical jobs with the students of LSU as well as gain the experience of taking part in our program, as well. This Program offers a novel, education-based means for students to bridge the gap between undergraduate school and other artistic pursuits. Since its inception, the Special Student Program has supported students from all over the country.
WHO IS A SPECIAL STUDENT
Special Students have completed a BFA (or equivalent) and are in transition into the next phase of their artistic career. Special Students are typically looking for space, facilities, and a supportive community to:
- develop a portfolio to apply to graduate school
- develop a specific body of work
REQUIREMENTS OF A SPECIAL STUDENT AT LSU
- participate in one undergraduate advanced ceramics course per semester
- commit to one full academic year at LSU (Fall and Spring semesters)
- be “self-sufficient” in terms of studio use, ability to fire kilns, mix glazes, etc.
