Why a Fine Arts Degree at Cochise College?
From becoming an entrepreneur and selling your work, to teaching or to being the art director of an art gallery, a degree in fine arts lets you use your creativity and imagination to achieve your dreams.
The art program at Cochise College has been designed with three goals in mind: (1) as a source of personal growth and self-expression, (2) to fulfill general education requirements for associate or baccalaureate degrees, and (3) to successfully transfer credit to four-year institutions.
To ensure seamless transfer, students must develop their specific program of study in close coordination with a Cochise College advisor.
