Students learn from masters of this craft as they enhance their glass skills in surface design, fusing, slumping and blowing with glass. Graduates are prepared to work as gallery representatives, museum educators, freelance craft persons, or art center instructors. While not designed as a transfer program, courses from the Glass specialization may be transferable to corresponding programs at four-year colleges and universities.
