Incorporating contemporary and traditional technologies in its lecture and studio course work, our program develop students’ analytical and creative thinking skills. Courses are offered at several campuses and museum locations, as well as, via broadcasting and the Internet. The Art Department’s curriculum fosters independent thought and continued growth for students seeking their A.A. degree or preparing for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. It also serves students in the development of entrepreneurial or career skills in the visual arts and in the pursuit of cultural enrichment and lifelong learning.
