AA/AS in Fine and Studio Arts

The Fine Arts program at Rockland Community College is built for students with a passion for art and design. Studio practice sits beside art history, so learners gain both hands-on skill and context in the visual arts. Courses include drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, digital art and two-dimensional design. Students can show their work in exhibitions and receive support in developing a portfolio, and the college notes that art scholarships and financial aid are available. Graduates may go on to careers in areas such as illustration, photography and graphic design, or transfer to art schools to specialize further. Some move directly into advertising agencies and publishing houses.
