Description

The undergraduate certificate in Craft + Material Studies is a post-baccalaureate program designed for students who want to become proficient artists in ceramics, fibers, jewelry, metalsmithing, or wood. The curriculum focuses on technique, philosophy, and contemporary issues intended to develop an individual’s portfolio for further graduate study or a career as an independent studio artist or design professional. The studio-focused program is typically completed in 3 to 4 semesters, with students enrolling in 6-12 credits per semester.

Admission is by portfolio and interview. Students with little to no formal art training will be considered for admission, but will be required to complete additional introductory level courses beyond the 30 credits required by the program; required introductory coursework will be determined by the program director in consultation with the student.
