 Introduction
The AFA degree offers students multiple opportunities
and experience in a number of art disciplines with an
emphasis on the development of a strong portfolio of
artwork. The AFA degree is a model that highlights
transfer opportunities as an art major to Bachelor of
Art and Bachelor of Fine Art programs, while providing
graduates with a sold foundation for artistic growth and
for employment opportunities with just the associate
degree. It also serves as a degree for students
who may already have a degree in another field or are
seeking positions in galleries, community centers and
museums.
The AFA degree includes all requirements of the
Direct Transfer AA degree plus students have added
points for transfer for completing a program of study in
their major that shows serious intention and
achievement. The broad education of the AFA degree is an
important background for serious lifelong artistic
development. Admission with major status into
formal art programs is based on portfolio assessment.
The development of a competitive portfolio, as the
AFA in Visual Arts is designed to do, provides focus for
a fine arts student and prepares students for entry into
competitive programs nationwide.
Students pursuing the AFA degree have two options of
study. They can complete the Foundation Studio Art
Option with a concentration in two-dimensional or in
three-dimensional art, or, if they have a clear interest
in photography, they can complete the Photography
Option. The planning sheets below for each option
indicate the course selections and requirements for the
degree.
