2022-2023 Catalog

Studio Art Transfer Major, A.A.

THIS PROGRAM IS IN TEACH-OUT. All currently declared students must finish their program or declare a new program of study by the end of SUMMER 2024. No students may declare this as a new program.

Program is designed for students wanting to complete the first 2 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.
