The Furniture Design and Woodworking concentration falls under the Applied Design focus within the Art major. This program aims to foster students' growth in forming a sophisticated artistic vision, grounded in intellectual, aesthetic, and technical skills aligned with their professional aspirations.

The coursework is designed to expand knowledge of Woodworking as a discipline, examining its historical roots and modern applications through research, hands-on exploration, and analysis of key topics in art and design. Equal emphasis is placed on technical skill, creative problem-solving, and innovative approaches. Though furniture creation serves as the primary focus, alternative artistic directions are equally supported. The program also investigates designing furniture and sculptural pieces using unconventional materials like metal, glass, paper, cement, and repurposed items. Students are urged to pursue interdisciplinary projects and consider international study programs to gain fresh insights.
