Artistic students considering a career in studio arts or art education have a new option for career training with the Associate of Fine Arts degree in art program now offered by Anoka-Ramsey Community College (ARCC).

The new program represents the second fine arts degree to be offered at ARCC, which also has an Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) in music program. Art courses are offered on ARCCís Coon Rapids and Cambridge campuses.

The new art degree provides students with extensive studio experience in a variety of media, including drawing, painting, photography, ceramics, sculpture, glass blowing and more, as well as a solid grounding in art history and visual theory. The program incorporates the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum, facilitating easy transfer to four-year institutions.

ARCC has established an articulation agreement with Winona State University, which currently offers three art-related degrees: a bachelor of arts degree with either a Studio or a Graphic Design focus, and a bachelor of science degree in Art Teaching. Agreements with additional colleges and universities are also being planned.

For more information on the Associate of Fine Arts degree in art, contact ARCC Dean of Educational Services Mary Raeker-Rebek at (763) 422-3328, or Mary.Raeker-Rebek@anokaramsey.edu.
