For curriculum information, contact the Arts and Humanities Division—Room HVPA-200—443-518-1480.
This curriculum is designed for those students transferring to a four-year institution, majoring in a wide range of arts and arts administration programs. The focus of arts administration is in the areas of arts theory and history, as well as business administration. The curriculum is designed to provide a liberal education in the arts and a practical education in business, as well as preparation for career opportunities in the profit and non-profit world of the arts. Students may choose an administration focus in interdisciplinary arts, visual arts, performing arts, or media arts by choosing electives in these areas. The Arts Administration area of study is designed to transfer to a four-year school where students would further their studies in a similar concentration. The curriculum gives the student flexibility to pursue a major interest and, at the same time, to fulfill the lower-division general education requirements for transfer to a baccalaureate degree program. Students should seek guidance from advisors and the institution to which they intend to transfer to determine appropriate coursework for specific transfer programs.
