Program Overview

Plan of Study in Art

The Associate in Fine Arts degree in Visual Arts provides first- and second-year art and general education courses leading to the bachelor of art or the bachelor of fine arts degree. It is intended for students planning a career in such fields as commercial design (architecture, graphic, industrial, interior, fashion, film, theater support), fine art (painting, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, crafts) and a wide range of photography-related disciplines. Students enrolling in this curriculum are urged to meet with an academic advisor each semester to review course selections and transfer plans.

Additional Program Information

The Associate in Fine Arts – Art Degree is designed so that transfer students will fit in with the native students at the transfer school, taking the remainder of their studio courses (no more than two per semester) along with the remaining general education courses.

Completion of the Associate in Fine Arts degree does not fulfill the requirements of the IAI General Education Core. Students need to complete the general education requirements of the institution to which they transfer or take an additional social and behavioral science course to meet IAI general education requirements before transferring. However, the Associate in Fine Arts degree satisfies IAI studio requirements for a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

Students in this program should expect to take additional general education courses as required by the transfer institution and may be required to submit a portfolio for transfer placement.
