Students must complete courses listed in Program Requirements and Support & Related sections with a minimum grade of “C” in each course in order to receive the Associate of Arts Degree.

- Basic Art foundation courses required by art majors transferring into baccalaureate programs.
- An opportunity for non-art majors to explore personal interests in the visual arts and to acquire a greater understanding of their visual world.
- The opportunity to enroll in art studio classes in order to display their work and to receive feedback and critical information from others.
- The opportunity to submit original works- visual and written- for final critique by faculty (program assessment). The assessment examines the degree of formal and personal development, recognizes areas of concern, and recognizes strength for future development.
