AA/AS in Fine and Studio Arts

The fine art concentration is an associate of arts degree in the creative arts and media department, designed for students who want studio experience before moving on to a bachelor's program or building a portfolio. Students work in an environment where art-making is part of a wider creative community, and one student quoted on the page says the group around them made them wish they had enrolled sooner. The degree combines studio courses with the general education classes required for transfer. Prospective students apply online, submit transcripts for placement, meet an admissions advisor, attend orientation, and review scholarships and tuition rates with financial services staff. Prospective students apply online, provide earlier transcripts so staff can place them in courses, and then meet with an advisor to plan a schedule and talk through ways to pay.
