Program information
Do you dream of a career in the arts? Our Fine Arts AS degree program is the perfect starting point, providing the opportunity to refine your skills, define your vision, and prepare for transfer into a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts program.
The curriculum begins with a focus on foundational courses in two-dimensional design, three-dimensional design, color theory, and drawing. In the second year, you will be introduced to painting, printmaking, and the history of art, while also preparing your portfolio for transfer or exhibition opportunities.
The Fine Arts curriculum is designed for students aiming for careers in art education, arts therapy, museum studies, and gallery exhibiting. If you plan to continue your education in this field, this program aligns with the SUNY Studio Art transfer pathway.
