Fine Arts - Studio Art

The Fine Arts Transfer program provides a foundation for you to pursue further study in visual art, including studio art, graphic art, computer graphics, game design, and industrial design.

The Studio Art major includes study of art history, drawing, painting, photography, design and composition, as well as core courses in English, social and behavioral sciences, natural science, communication, and arts and humanities.

Transferring as a true junior into a baccalaureate program in fine art might require more than two years of preparation. Therefore, you should work closely with your academic advisor, department chair, or the director of advising and transfer to tailor your program for transfer to the institution of their choice, and should consult that institution's catalog requirements early in your program.
