Art Education

Associate of Arts Degree

AA-SR 60401

This curriculum provides the first two years of a four-year program in art at a professional art school or at a college of fine arts at one of the state’s public universities. Upon completion of one of these degrees at EAC, you will be able to transfer into a four-year college or university program. Since program requirements differ between universities, the official transfer guide of the school which you plan to attend upon leaving EAC should be consulted in order to adjust this program to your personal needs. Web addresses for the transfer guides of Arizona’s three public universities are included below. If you plan to terminate formal education after attending EAC and seek employment immediately upon graduation, the EAC Advertising Design curriculum may be a better choice than these degrees. You are advised to take one or more art courses before making serious plans for a career in art.
