The mission of the Visual Arts Program is to provide the fundamental knowledge essential to art majors planning careers in a wide range of visual art disciplines. The program has a large number of approved support electives, making it very diverse and flexible, and allowing students to design an art program that fits their personal educational goals. Students who earn an associate degree in Visual Arts are prepared to continue studying at a four-year institution. After graduating, they can become teachers, art critics, museum directors and curators, art gallery directors, painters, sculptors, ceramists, jewelers, art historians and photographers, or work in film/video, fashion design, interior design, animation, art therapy, illustration, print making and graphic/visual communications. Digital Media Design students who wish to transfer to a four-year institution should enroll in the Visual Arts program for an Associate in Arts degree.
