Art
	Do you need studio art experience to take a studio course? No. Introductory level courses are designed to accommodate students with a broad range of experience.
	What can I do with studio art experience upon graduation? Our program asks students to think critically and to synthesize ideas and materials creatively; these skills are invaluable in most aspects of life. Many of our majors and minors further their academic career and go on to become professional artists, teachers, museum curators, art critic, art buyer, art therapy, art restoration, art gallery owners and art exhibitors.
	Am I required to present a portfolio before admission? No, you will not be required to prepare a portfolio in order to enroll. The Studio Art Department has an 'open door' policy, welcoming any student who has an interest in the Studio Arts. Individual professors may be interested in seeing some of your previous work. A portfolio review will not affect a student's potential for admission to the College.
	Will there be opportunities to show my work? The student gallery located on the first floor of the Humanities building regularly features student works. This gallery provides good exposure for our students as well as community based new and emerging artists.
	Can I use the studio if I am not enrolled in a studio class? Only students currently enrolled in studio classes enjoy the privileges of using the facility.
	Can I enter the Program if I have a B.F.A. or M.F.A.? Yes you can!
	What are some of the classes offered? We offer ceramics, three-dimensional design, color design, painting, life drawing, figure painting and photography.
	Will I get transfer credits for my work in another program? Yes. There is a transfer credit evaluation in place.
	What is the usual length of time to degree? To receive an Associates in Arts degree takes 2 years.
