Degree Information

The AA degree is built into the AFA degree.  Students who graduate with an AFA can receive BOTH an AA and AFA degrees simultaneously. You only need to apply for both degrees at the time of graduation. The AA degree provides for a direct transfer.

The AFA gives students a focused practice in art in a two-year degree.  The AFA degree helps students develop a strong competitive portfolio necessary for application to art schools and universities.  The AFA indicates to employers a specific focus or field of study in art at the AA level.

Students have the option to specialize in a particular art media within the AFA/AA degree--Ceramics, Design, Photography, and Studio. These Concentrations give students the opportunity to focus on a particular media and develop a portfolio specific to it.
