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 range of course work to prepare students for the workforce or to 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 this program might not be the same as those required for transfer into a similar major at a four-year university.
Transfer students are advised to do research on prospective majors and careers through the Career/Transfer Center and the MSJC catalog. Students interested in transferring to CSU’s or UC’s can access major preparation by visiting http://www.assist.org. All students are advised to meet with a counselor at least once a semester to create or update their comprehensive education plan.
