The undergraduate Jewelry and Metalwork program offers comprehensive training in techniques, processes, and conceptual development to prepare students for careers as modern designers, makers, and artists.

The program focuses on equally developing technical precision and creative vision, inspiring students to expand their artistic boundaries while mastering craft skills. Student projects span from wearable art and functional objects to experimental pieces that explore jewelry and metalwork's cultural and domestic significance.
