Program Description

The Certificate in Fine Arts (CFA) affirms completion of work and is suitable for art professionals, but is not a transfer certificate. However, the courses are above 100 and are listed in many catalogs for four-year colleges and universities. Most courses will transfer. The program can be completed in two years. To develop a better assimilation of concepts and skills, a longer time span may be suggested for some students.

Each CFA student is assigned an art adviser who helps plan his or her program. Students must submit a portfolio and participate in an exhibition during their final quarter. A candidate for a Certificate in Fine Arts must complete a minimum of 96 quarter hours with a grade point average of 2.0 or better. The art adviser and art faculty will work with and evaluate the work of the student before final approval and recommendation to award the Certificate in Fine Arts.

The faculty recommends that you take one additional studio class during the first quarter to build a stronger portfolio. Not all art classes are offered every quarter. Please contact the art department for course offerings.

Program Learning Outcomes

A CFA graduate will be able to do the following:
  1. Develop a portfolio of original artwork using various media with emphasis on originality, facility and exploration.
  2. Develop enhanced critical thinking, judgment, and problem solving skills.
  3. Produce a resume and an artist statement.
  4. Contribute creatively to the regional art community.
  5. Participate in a culminating gallery exhibition.

Career Opportunities

A student graduating with a CFA has been introduced to the very basics of making art. Many years of development will be required to achieve professional standing. While career opportunities are limited for those holding only two years of training, some specific career opportunities include: art paraprofessionals in fields of recreation, education, child care; freelance professional artists; assistants at art supply stores and bookstores; framer at frame and print shops; gallery assistants; assistants in foundries and industrial design shops.
