Associate's Degrees

Transfer Information 

Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution in an art-related major should follow one of the degrees listed above OR the general studies degree. The choice depends on which degree most closely aligns with a four-year school’s lower level requirements. Work with a counselor or advisor as you make your decision. Visit each four-year school’s art/graphic arts sites to see the recommended freshman and sophomore course sequence for majors. Check requirements at each school carefully to avoid duplication. For example, at some schools, some MC courses are consider “upper-level” and the MC course may not fulfill an upper-level requirement. If undecided, choose common courses from several schools.
