My Academic Plan
Program Description
This program is designed for students wanting to complete the first two years of a bachelor's degree at the community college and transfer to a university to complete a BA in Fine Art or Arts. Students explore studio techniques and historical aspects of art. Careers often require a master's degree. Studio Art teaches students both how to make art and understand how it is made. Students will study drawing, painting, ceramics, and photography in detail. This program introduces students to the study of Studio Art and includes courses that are common to all Colorado four-year institutions. Career paths for Studio Art degree holders include museum and gallery management, building design, media, art restoration, and education. The Associate of Arts (AA) Degree with Designation in Studio Art 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 Studio Art 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.
