AFA

East Central College offers two options to students interested in pursing Art. The Associate of Fine Arts degree (AFA) is the path that allows Fine Arts majors to complete a series of fine arts foundation courses, to experience and develop skills in a variety of media, and to compile a comprehensive portfolio of artwork. While the AFA degree is often pursued by those planning to transfer into a BA or BFA program, the courses lay the groundwork for lifelong artistic growth and build a solid skill set for those who seek employment opportunities with the AFA degree.

What to expect from the AFA at East Central College: The Associate of Fine Arts degree at East Central College is a program rooted in a foundational core curriculum of drawing, design (two dimensional, three dimensional, and color), art history, as well as, an in-depth studio art experience. The program culminates with the student compiled portfolio.

AA-Studio Art

The Associate of Arts - Studio Art (AA) is intended for students planning to transfer to a four year institution that offers programs in art education, art history, or fine arts. The strong liberal arts foundation emphasizes the humanities, art history and the fundamentals of the visual arts. Working closely with the faculty advisor, students may choose from a broad list of art related electives, keeping in mind the specific requirements of transfer institutions in their intended area of specialization.
