As you pursue your BFA in Jewelry/Metals, students will learn a sequence of technical skills and will work to solidify a clear, creative approach,whether more individualistic or pertaining to applied design.

The BFA is a professional degree with concentrated areas of specialization, so students will take more art courses than they would in a BA program. At UMass Dartmouth, students also have the advantages of a university education where they can diversify their  studies and expand their career opportunities.

In your final year, students will focus on developing an individualistic approach to your aesthetic, skills, concepts, and ideas. Students will produce a cohesive body of work to be presented in the BFA Exhibition.

Studies will prepare the students to pursue careers in running a studio business, designing for industry, technical jewelry employment, or within a number of related fields.
