Fine Arts - Associate of Arts (Major Code - ARTF)

The art program at Cochise College has been designed with three goals in mind: (1) as a source of personal growth and self-expression, (2) to fulfill general education requirements for associate or baccalaureate degrees, and (3) to successfully transfer credit to four-year institutions. Students seeking a specialized career in art should see an art instructor for advisement.

The Fine Arts Associate of Arts degree prepares students for transfer to a university program in art. To ensure seamless transfer, students must develop their specific program of study in close coordination with a Cochise College advisor.

Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate proficiency in both 2D and 3D media and processes to facilitate effective visual communication and personal expression.
