Program Overview

The study of design and the arts allows students to explore human expression and invention, strengthen sensory awareness, enhance creative thinking, and develop their own unique images, objects, and artistic expressions.

Some transfer-level courses may fulfill general education requirements; others serve as program electives or apply toward a four-year degree in design, visual arts, or music. Course offerings vary - some are available every semester, others annually, biannually, or on demand. (See Aims Two-Year Academic Course Schedules for details.)

Curricula are designed to meet transfer university requirements and support the workforce needs of Northern Colorado’s creative industries. Students planning to transfer are encouraged to consult with Visual and Performing Arts faculty to choose appropriate course combinations.
