Associate of Arts Degree

The Art program is designed to let the student develop a creative attitude toward presenting and interpreting valid art forms.

Coursework is directed at providing knowledge, interest and the understanding of art as a primary form of visual communication.

A student’s program may be designed to reflect a specific interest or direction in art. Through the certificate II option or the transfer program, a student in art may also carry some emphasis in other areas of study.
