What is the Art A.A. degree?

Art gives us the ability to express ourselves. Through that expression, we communicate. Artists share their unique emotions, thoughts and experiences with the world. When you see and study another's art, you're seeing the world through their eyes. When you create art, you're letting others see the world through yours.

The Art A.A. degree at SCC offers:

• A curriculum that parallels a four-year art school or university art program 
• Instruction and personal guidance from professional artists and educators
• The opportunity to study and learn from other artists and their work
• Art studios, so you can express yourself artistically through multiple mediums
• Assistance in creating a portfolio
• The opportunity to display your best work at the annual juried student art exhibit in SCC's Art Gallery
• Scholarships for promising art students
