I have the option of signing up for sculpture or ceramics, but there is no description given. I was wondering what I could generally expect to see in these kinds of classes. Does sculpture mean you are trying to model something else and ceramics are more free form? I'm clueless so please help! thanks!
 
Read this! I am a senior art student at an art school and know the difference!

Sculpture includes any medium that can be used to create a 3D piece. This means learning and using: all metals ( bronze, gold, aluminum) and learning how to cast and do molds, creating clay sculptures, stone carving, wood, and things like that.

Ceramics is just using clay as a medium. You do not use metals or wood or anything with your pieces.
