Fine Arts, AFA


The Fine Arts Program offers courses, an Associate of Fine Arts, and transfer to four-year institutions to obtain a bachelor’s degree in visual arts. This education in art at a preprofessional stage consists primarily of studio classes complemented by general art history courses. Macomb views this program as a pathway to a four-year institution offering a professional degree, necessitating about two-thirds of its credits to be in art and/or design. The program will deliver a solid foundational fine art education that includes a diverse array of artistic fields and resources that provide genuine, contemporary, and hands-on material learning. This program will create graduates who possess technical skills, aesthetic discernment, and a deep dedication to artistic excellence.

You are strongly encouraged to work with a counselor, academic advisor, or faculty/department coordinator.
