Art + Design
Program Description
Southern California is an incredibly rich area for art and creative industries. MSJC Art + Design is a wonderful place to start to explore and participate in the art and ideas that make our area so special. MSJC is where you can explore drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, visual communication, and art history. Whether you are registered for one class or complete your degree to transfer we know that our department is the place to let your creativity soar!
Transfer Preparation
MSJC offers a wide range of course work that prepares students for the workforce or for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. All four-year institutions prescribe their own standards for course evaluation and admissions. Courses that fulfill major requirements for an associate degree in a program at MSJC might not be the same as those required for transfer into a similar major at a four-year university. Please meet with a Counselor to confirm transfer requirements.
Transfer students are advised to do research on prospective majors and careers. The MSJC Transfer Center and MSJC catalog can be helpful tools. Students interested in transferring to CSU’s or UC’s can access major preparation by visiting ASSIST. All students are advised to meet with a counselor at least once a semester to create or update their comprehensive education plan.
