Curriculum
The certificate is awarded by the SAAH to acknowledge a concentration in ceramics within a student's external major and general course of study. Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the certificate program. Students are admitted based on a portfolio review by faculty in the ceramics.
The coursework includes 4-5 sequenced ceramics classes plus a required course in art theory and art fundamentals. Students will leave the program with the ability to throw on the potter's wheel, model, and carve. They also will have developed skills in hand-forming processes and gained knowledge of glaze application techniques and kiln firing methods.
