A few schools I would recommend adding to the list are: <br /><br />Idaho State University in Pocatello which offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in fibers. <br /><br />University of Indiana offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in Fibers.<br /><br />Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri has an undergraduate program in Fibers.<br /><br />Sadly, the University of Washington no longer does. I was a student there doing my BFA in Fibers there when this change took place. They do have an Interdisciplinary Visual Art major but there are not enough fibers courses offered to exclusively focus on that within IVA (students need to combine fibers curriculum with other disciplines).SwampSpearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01950933211972772469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561254967693474976.post-86000325761369984552013-04-10T01:43:05.014-04:002013-04-10T01:43:05.014-04:00Kent State has a great program!

My daughter is still going forward with her pursuit of it; she took off for two years and is about to jump back in again this Fall, adding interior design as a minor. "Nothing worth doing is easy" must be her mantra! <br /><br />Best wishes to you!loopettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666267630719162056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561254967693474976.post-78513779314544012252012-12-27T22:05:15.534-05:002012-12-27T22:05:15.534-05:00Thank you so much for the list of colleges that of...Thank you so much for the list of colleges that offer Fibers! I'm currently a senior in high school, and I'm seriously considering going into fiber arts. I'm not sure that it's for me though, since I've only been knitting for a year(but I've become very passionate about it and have advanced quickly). So, I'm curious, how did it work out for your daughter?Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020121164751979518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561254967693474976.post-22560248860314683232012-05-19T21:57:51.596-04:002012-05-19T21:57:51.596-04:00North Carolina State U (NCSU in Greenville) offers...North Carolina State U (NCSU in Greenville) offers BFA and MFA in Fibers, as does Eastern Michigan (EMich or EMU) in Ypsilanti (near Ann Arbor).<br /><br />Sadly, as of 2010, Bowling Green State University's program is no more. Professor retired and the art department promptly eliminated the program (much to my dismay, as I live in BG and was considering an MFA in Fibers--now I'll have to relocate or have a long commute to do it, SIGH).<br /><br />Good references.Jeanne Bhttp://yarndeavors.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561254967693474976.post-46697770942027282742012-01-16T18:42:02.726-05:002012-01-16T18:42:02.726-05:00Adele,

The certificate courses are taught over 5-days, and then you go home for weeks of at home work.<br /><br />The Gail Harker Creative Studies Center offers certificate and diploma courses, and students have come from all over the world to learn from Gail.<br /><br />She has a great blog too. You can check it out here: http://gailcreativestudies.wordpress.com/M.

I'm going back to school after 16 years of being out of a classroom (I'm 41). I'm going to community college to finish my AFA, but looking for colleges to transfer to, to complete my studies in Fiber. I've been knitting, spinning and dyeing my own yarn and want to continue along those lines.<br />You can also add Berea college to your list... THey have an outrageous program in Fiber Arts and also have a catalog of student works that supports the college so there are no out of pocket costs for the students.Adele Michelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912565168934196718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561254967693474976.post-55716512220325307012010-10-24T22:07:13.991-04:002010-10-24T22:07:13.991-04:00Hi,
