Art Transfer Pathway
明尼苏达州 Transfer Pathways are designed so you can complete a specific associate degree at a 明尼苏达州 college and transfer to a 明尼苏达州 university to earn a bachelor's degree without losing credits or taking extra courses.
The Art Transfer Pathway AFA offers students the opportunity to complete an Associate of 美术 degree with course credits that directly transfer to designated fine arts degree programs at 明尼苏达州 universities. The curriculum has been specifically designed so that students completing this pathway degree and transferring to one of these seven 明尼苏达州 universities enter the university with junior-year status:
- Bemidji State University
- Metropolitan State University
- 明尼苏达州 University, Mankato
- 明尼苏达州 University, 学习
- Southwest 明尼苏达州 University
- St. Cloud State University
- Winona State University
The Art Transfer Pathway is available on our 费格斯瀑布 campus, where our commitment to and passion for the arts are on display across the campus. Our visual arts facilities include ceramics, 绘画, drawing and printmaking studios, a traditional darkroom, the Waage 美术 Gallery and the Charles Beck Gallery.
Students have multiple opportunities to exhibit their work while learning to market and promote their artistic skills and artwork, and they can create lasting professional network connections with national and international artists by taking part in our Annual Visiting Artists Program.
The creativity and problem-solving skills you'll develop in the Art Transfer Pathway are an excellent foundation for any career you choose to pursue. You also can use the knowledge and skills learned in the AFA degree program to launch an academic or professional career in an array of other fields.
