Program Description
This program is designed for students wanting to complete the first two years of a bachelor's degree and transfer to a university to complete a BA in Art or Art History. Students explore hands-on and historical aspects of art. Careers often require a master's degree. Art History studies the way that art objects have changed over time, including their style, design, and materials. This program explores the major art forms, including painting, sculpture, and building design, as well as minor art forms, including furniture, ceramics, and decorative objects. This program introduces students to Art History and it includes courses that are common to all four-year institutions in Colorado. Career paths for Art History degree holders include museum and gallery management, government, media, research, and advanced university studies and careers. The Associate of Arts (AA) degree in Art History prepares students to complete the second half of a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Art or Art History at a four-year university.
Note: The degree track in Art History with Secondary Teaching Licensure has different requirements and is not included in this agreement. Please refer to this agreement’s cover page for the name of the Bachelor’s degree at the four-year institution to which this agreement applies.
