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.
Students who successfully complete this program will be able to do the following:
