Students who wish to major in art have a curriculum geared toward the
fine arts with a humanities core required. The curriculum is flexible enough
to serve both the student transferring to a four-year college or professional
school and the student who wishes to pursue a career in related fields.
Students who are interested in transferring to a four-year college or
professional art school are advised to elect courses which will meet requirements
at the college or school of their choice. Each visual arts major is urged
to develop a program of study in close consultation with faculty members
of the Art Department.
Students who successfully complete this program receive an Associate
in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) degree.

Note to Full-Time Students: Full-time A.F.A. students who wish
to complete degree requirements within two years are recommended to take
a minimum of 15 credits during their first semester, 16 credits during their
second semester, 18 credits during their third semester and 15 credits during
their fourth semester. However, students are cautioned that this course
load is quite demanding and many students prefer to extend their studies
in the Art Department beyond two years.
A recommended semester or sequence of courses is not indicated to allow
flexibility in scheduling. However, the Art Department does recommend that
students complete visual art courses listed as Major Requirements before
enrolling in any visual art elective courses. Also, the department recommends
that students do not enroll in more than one Art History course per semester.
Students are encouraged to maintain a balance between fine arts courses
and liberal arts courses each semester. Students are reminded that studio
courses require serious effort and time. Many students find it difficult
to complete successfully the work required if they are enrolled in more
than two studio courses a semester.
* Three liberal arts courses (9 credits) will be elected from any liberal
arts offering. This presents an opportunity for the student to develop a
well-rounded education through the areas of science, mathematics, psychology,
foreign language and so forth.
** Five courses (15 credits) will be selected from any additional courses
offered by the Art Department. This gives each student the opportunity to
create the individual program of study best suited for his/her needs. This
includes LIBA 1010 Cooperative Work Experience.
Students who wish to major in drama have a curriculum geared toward the
fine arts with a humanities core required. The curriculum is flexible enough
to serve both the student transferring to a four-year college or professional
school and the student who wishes to pursue a career in a related field.
Two curriculum sequences are available. The performance track is recommended
for students who wish to pursue a career as a performer. The technical track
is recommended for those who wish to pursue a career as a designer/technician.
Either track is appropriate for those planning to transfer to a Bachelor
of Fine Arts Program in theatre. Students enrolled in the degree program
should work closely from their first semester with an advisor from the Theatre-Speech
Department who is familiar with the program and its transfer requirements.
All students must participate in the production work of the College�s theatre.
Students who successfully complete either track receive an Associate
in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) degree.
