Program Description
Students who elect to pursue an Associate of Science in Fine Arts will prepare themselves for transfer to a 4-year college or university with an eye to a career in making, teaching or managing art.

The Fine Arts AS degree is an interdisciplinary degree tailored to the art studio experience enabling students to achieve proficiency in the principles and practices utilized by professional artists and affiliated industries. Through the study of art theory, art history, drawing, painting, photography, and non-traditional medium students gain knowledge of art genres and systems of thought. Experimentation with a variety of materials and methods with an emphasis on development of the concepts, skills, and techniques related to the art studio and the development of a personal artistic expression will be undertaken.

Career Opportunities
The primary intent of this degree is to prepare students to successfully transfer to four-year institutions where they will advance their study and practice in specialized disciplines in the fine arts. Options for students graduating in this field are many and varied. Career options include a wide range of art related skill-based jobs, craft and fine artists using a variety of materials and techniques to create art for sale and exhibition, art directors, gallery management, art education, and curatorial practice.
