    MA Programs in Metalworking

    A Master of Arts degree is a course of study for students who seek a more intensive education within a particular field. These degrees are more advanced than a bachelor's degree, yet most only take two or three years to complete.

    What is an MA in Metalworking? Metalworking is the unique and complex method of working with metals to create new structures such as jewelry, sculptures and more. Many degree programs in this subject consist of comprehensive artistic study of the technical and conceptual components of professional metalworking. Courses in this type of program will likely include art history, technical development, art research, materials study and more. Some programs offer internship opportunities or require a thesis project.

    In the field of metalworking, students should learn to be creative and detail-oriented. Graduates with an MA in Metalworking are often highly motivated self-starters, and employers from many different industries seek these traits in employees.

    The cost of earning an MA degree is typically less than that of an undergraduate degree, but this can vary depending on the university and program. Students are strongly encouraged to contact the admissions offices of potential schools to find specific tuition and admission requirements.

    Careers in metalworking are much more expansive than one may assume, particularly for students with an advanced degree. While many students pursue an independent art career as gallery artists or freelancers, other students may find related work in a variety of industries. Graduates may secure jobs as gallery curators, teachers at different academic levels, designers, welders, sheet metal workers and more.
