Associate in Arts for Transfer in Studio Arts

Program Overview

The field of studio art covers a wide range of topics. The department offers courses in drawing, design, painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking and art history. This major is designed to give students exposure to basic information in the discipline and provide the opportunity to focus on the areas that best suit their individual needs. Students should consult with a departmental adviser and/or counselor when choosing both controlled and general electives in order to develop a program of study that is best suited to their specific needs. For example, requirements for the Baccalaureate Degree in Studio Arts vary from one institution to another. It is, therefore, essential to become familiar with the requirements of the institution a student plans to attend.
