Foundation courses such as Art History, Painting, Ceramics, Drawing and Photography rely heavily on a historical component, which not only fulfills much of the general education transfer requirements in humanities, but will also allow students to critically examine, appreciate, and relate their own artwork to a historical perspective. Studio classes in Art provide students the opportunity to use the latest technology, facilities and equipment. A degree in Art can provide a variety of career opportunities and vocations in art such as photographer, fine artist, digital artist, art educator, and graphic designer. Students should consult with a counselor to determine whether this degree is the best option for their academic goals.\n\n### Program Requirements"
