The AA and AFA represent two different tracks in Studio Art Education. The AA should be pursued by those students ultimately seeking a liberal arts baccalaureate degree (typically a BA) in the Studio Arts. The AFA should be pursued by those students ultimately seeking a professional baccalaureate degree (typically a BFA) in the Studio Arts. The AA completes the General Education component prior to transfer while the AFA completes more professional coursework and fulfills the General Education requirements over the span of a four year degree as do native students respectively. It is important that transfer students seek advising from their community college faculty advisor in their first year of study and subsequently from the receiving school at least a semester before transferring.
Beginning students who have not made this academic decision should begin their studies by completing Art 904 (Drawing 1), Art 907 (Two Dimensional Design), one course in their campus' art history survey sequence, an English Composition course (C1900 or C1901), and a general education Math course. These courses apply to both degrees and will allow the student at least one semester to work with an advisor in setting long range educational goals.
For information on the AFA degree, consult our AFA specialized degree page. Be sure to consult the institution you plan on transferring to for course articulations.
