Art Studio – AFA Degree

Arts, Audio/Visual Technology, and Communications Programs

Art Studio

Associate in Fine Arts

This is a two-year associates degree program designed to meet the lower level (freshman and sophomore) course requirements of a four-year University for students majoring in Art and Design. Baccalaureate degree programs in the fine arts are highly structured and require many sequential courses in the major field at the lower division. In order to take courses similar to those of freshman and sophomore students at a university, some general education courses are postponed to the junior and senior years. The Associate in Fine Arts does not contain the entire IAI General Education Core Curriculum.
