Pierce College's art department offers a wide range of studio and lecture courses for art majors, digital design students, and those who simply wish to explore their creative interests and abilities.
Students planning to pursue an art major at a transfer institution are encouraged to take studio courses building on the fundamentals of design and drawing as well as those offered in photography and painting. Lecture classes in the visual arts are also offered to provide a broad background in creative arts.
Transfer Possibilities
Students working toward their transfer degree typically take a variety of courses designed to fulfill the general requirements of most four-year colleges and universities. Students intending to transfer to a four-year college for further training in the art field are encouraged to work closely with their advisor to ensure they meet the requirements of the college they wish to attend after Pierce.
