Art
An Arts and Sciences A.A. Degree Program (Transfer)
For Curriculum Information Contact the Arts and Humanities Division—Room HVPA-200—410-772-4940

This curriculum is designed as a guide for students planning to transfer to a four-year institution to complete a bachelor’s degree in studio art/art history and such specialty areas as drawing, painting, graphic design, product design, interior design, architectural design, printmaking, photography, ceramics, sculpture, fiber arts, crafts, digital prepress, video and multimedia design. Students are advised to check the requirements of the institution to which they intend to transfer. The main emphasis in the art program is the development of conceptual and technical visualization skills and a transfer portfolio. There is also a flexible option whereby a student can prepare for a digital prepress career in the printing industry without compromising his or her ability to transfer to a four-year institution.
