Introduction
The Arts and Humanities/Visual Arts concentration prepare students for transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue various visual arts majors (painting, sculpture, graphic design, textile design, and visual technology, e.g., Photography). The background provided by a study in these areas is also helpful for students considering undergraduate and/or graduate-level education in arts education or administration. A bachelor’s degree is essential to obtain entry-level positions in teaching. However, an associate’s degree is the minimum requirement for individuals pursuing a fine arts career, graphic arts, commercial art, art advertisement, marketing, and arts management. Patience, understanding, and the ability to effectively communicate orally and in writing are also necessary. Many opportunities exist for those with a bachelor’s degree in the Humanities, including teaching, employment in advertising agencies and publishing firms, art business management, and research and development.
