The Arts and Humanities/Visual Arts concentration prepares students for transfer to
a four-year college or university to pursue a variety of majors in the visual arts
(painting, sculpture, graphic design, textile design, and visual technology, e.g.,
photography). The background provided by study in these areas is also helpful for
students considering undergraduate and/or graduate-level education in arts education
or administration. A bachelor’s degree is essential to obtain entry-level positions
in teaching. However, an associate’s degree is the minimum requirement for individuals
pursuing a career in fine arts, graphic arts, commercial art, art advertisement, marketing,
and arts management. Patience, understanding, and the ability to effectively communicate
orally and in writing are also necessary. A multitude of opportunities exists for
those with a bachelor’s degree in the Humanities, including teaching, employment in
advertising agencies and publishing firms, arts business management, and research
and development. For more information about this program, contact the Arts, Humanities,
and Social Sciences Division in 3-301.
