美术学士，金属锻造

金属加工设施在锻造，中空器皿，珠宝和3D建模中提供了广泛的技术可能性。鼓励学生制定评判标准，这不仅对学科严格，而且跨越了学科界限。通过阅读，特别展览，参观讲座和讲习班，学生可以接触到国内外的最新思想和新的材料方法。对批判理论和主题问题的批判和讨论被用于开放式搜索，以了解当代金属加工领域的当前方向。对学生的主要期望之一是提高对这一领域的认识，这是由于该领域创造的许多机会而推动的，例如组织有组织的实地考察，座谈会和会议。该计划中学生经验的最终集中点在于如何设计出引人注目的作品，以及在更大范围的金属加工领域中表
The metalsmithing facilities support a wide range technical possibilities within blacksmithing, hollowware, jewelry, and 3-d modeling. Students are encouraged to develop standards for judment, which are not only rigorous to the discipline but also cut across disciplinary boundaries. Through readings, special exhibitions, visiting lectures and workshops students are exposed to national and international currents of thought and new approaches to material. Critiques and discussion of both critical theory and topical issues are used in an open-ended search for understanding current directions within contemporary metalsmithing. One of the major expectations for students is to develop an awareness of the field, which is facilitated through the many opportunities created by the area such as organized field trips to significant sights, symposiums and conferences. The culmination of the student experience in the program focuses on the crafting of a compelling body of work and the ability to speak, write and contextualize the work within the larger field of metalsmithing. Finally, the program seeks to produce open-minded critical thinkers.<br><br> Metals majors working in related professions include: Metals Craftsman, Instructor/Professor, Mold Maker, Jewelry Designer, Lapidary Specialist, Blacksmith.
