The program, which may be pursued from the perspective of a fine artist, designer or craftsperson, prepares students for a wide variety of opportunities, including graduate study, bench work, or independent production of jewelry or metalwork. At the introductory level, you experience both functional and sculptural aspects of jewelry and metalwork. Additional courses expand on the numerous techniques while focusing on conceptual and design development.

Coursework is augmented by an ongoing examination of contemporary and historical metalsmithing. In your last semester, participate in the senior project and develop a cohesive body of work while learning professional skills, such as resume and artist statement writing. Students in this concentration can complete the B.S./B.A. or B.F.A. in the Undergraduate Catalog.
