Merged / renamed

Now known as
Jewelry and Metalsmithing (intensive within Studio Arts B.F.A./B.S./M.F.A.) and Jewelry and Metalsmithing minor

What happened
Continuation with structural change. The historic Syracuse metals program (Pulos/Jerry/Marshall lineage) persisted as a degree offering for decades. In 2024 Syracuse University announced elimination of 93 academic "offerings," and the standalone Bachelor's degree program in Jewelry and Metalsmithing was among those cut (the 93 programs collectively enrolled only ~258 students, ~1.2% of enrollment). However, the university stated no positions or departments were eliminated and that courses and minors would continue. Jewelry/metalsmithing thus continues today as an intensive within the Studio Arts B.F.A., as a standalone minor, and as a track within the Studio Arts M.F.A. — i.e., the standalone-major was folded into the broader Studio Arts degree rather than the area being closed.
