Fine Arts

An Advisement Sequence in the Liberal Arts and Sciences A.A. Transfer Program

This curriculum is intended for students planning to transfer to a four year institution that offers programs in art education, art history or fine arts. It provides a strong liberal arts background with emphasis on the humanities, art history and the fundamentals of the visual arts. Students in the Fine Arts curriculum should work closely with the faculty advisor to choose their electives and to determine specific requirements of transfer institutions in their intended area of specialization.
