Requirements for the Craft Certificate

The craft certificate is ideal for those who are seeking professional-level training in craft media without the objective of a college degree, and is especially appropriate for those who already have a degree.  University entrance requirements are the same as for the BFA degree. Course requirements include most of the art courses in the BFA curriculum, but exclude the senior thesis and BFA exhibition.  At the discretion of the faculty advisor, independent study credits may be applied to a focused project showing the student's level of accomplishment upon completion of the program.  Those finishing the Craft Certificate Program receive a Certificate of Completion, and while this represents a high level of accomplishment in the medium, it is not a college degree and does not afford the level of privilege and opportunity of a BFA degree.  Students enrolled in the Craft Certificate program generally maintain a minimum of six credits per semester and complete the art foundation requirements within the first eighteen credits in the program.
