In the study of design and the arts, students may work to deepen their understanding of human expression and invention, to strengthen their sensory skills, to develop creative thinking abilities, and to create their own unique expressions, images, or objects.

Some transfer-level courses may be taken as general education requirements; others serve as electives within the program, or as course work toward a four-year program in design, visual arts, or music. Some courses are not offered each semester, some are offered annually, biannually, or on demand. (See Aims 2-year Academic Course Schedules.)

The curriculum for each area of study is developed to fulfill both transfer university program requirements and needs of Northern Colorado firms offering work opportunities. Students who have specific plans for transfer should consult the faculty in Visual and Performing Arts to choose appropriate course combinations.
