Create and grow as an artist
If you enjoy creating art and want to build your skills, our Fine Arts program is a great place to start.
You’ll explore drawing, painting, design and sculpture. Our classes focus on hands-on learning, so you’ll spend much of your time in our large, well-equipped studios creating original artwork. You’ll also study art history to help you understand how art has changed over time and across cultures.
When you’re finished, you’ll be among the first to earn our new Associate of Fine Arts degree before transferring to a four-year school to earn your bachelor’s degree in visual arts.
If you’re not pursing a degree, you can still take an art course for enjoyment or personal enrichment.
