AA/AS in Visual and Performing Arts, General

Community College of Baltimore County offers this Associate of Fine Arts for people who intend to continue toward a bachelor's degree in an artistic field, whether studio-based or stage-based. Classes meet face to face, and the campuses involved are Catonsville, Dundalk and Essex. The curriculum is organized around a course map that lays out a recommended order for each term. Learners interested in a specific direction are encouraged to consult the Arts Pathway tracks, then open the matching area of concentration to view a complete term-by-term layout. Placement into English and mathematics comes early, so both requirements should be finished before roughly the first twenty-four credit hours are done. Anyone who needs non-credit developmental work in those subjects takes it beforehand or alongside. Students who hope to graduate in two years and have no developmental coursework should carry fifteen credits each term. A lighter load stretches the timeline. Since receiving universities differ, an advisor can help match electives to the chosen transfer destination.
