Visual Arts Concentration, Arts and Sciences, A.A.
The transfer program in Visual Arts is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution and major in visual arts, visual arts education, or a related field. Students should identify an intended transfer institution as early as possible and complete appropriate courses. Students should always confer with advisors and transferring institutions for specific requirements as these are subject to change. All majors will be required to pass a professional portfolio review and an exit interview with an art department faculty panel.
