Notes

  • Students who complete the certificate will be able to enter an industry that has strong demand for employees having required technical skills and training. Students may work at a jewelry/metal arts studio, become a jewelry/metal artist, metal sculptor, or public art project artist. 


Zero Textbook Costs (ZTC):

The Zero Textbook Costs designation and logo are added to any course that provides free access to all required instructional materials. These are typically shared with students through Canvas. Courses that are designated as ZTC may still require students to purchase supplemental materials such as lab coats, a calculator, art supplies, etc. See full definitions and searching tips on the Zero Textbook Costs page of the college website.
