Art
Students who wish to pursue an education in the area of art may choose from four options. The options include:
Transfer Option: Fine Arts
Award: Certificate
The Fine Arts Certificate provides students with an art foundation course of study that could be used to transfer into a baccalaureate degree program in art or to develop the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for a career in art. It allows students that have completed the Introduction to Two-Dimensional Art Career Studies Certificate or the Introduction to Three-Dimensional Art Career Studies Certificate to continue their academic studies in art.
