The Associate of Arts with an emphasis in Art at NCCC offers three major areas of study in the visual arts: studio art, pre-graphic design, and art education. Students interested in pursuing a career in arts are encouraged to follow the recommended sequence of courses to stay on track to achieve their goals. All areas of study are designed as transfer programs, intended to be completed at a university or art school. Students who complete degrees in related art fields enjoy opportunities in teaching, studio art, entrepreneurial art businesses (galleries, tattoo, printing,) conceptual and digital media, graphic design, product design, museums, and much more.  NCCC art classes may also be taken for skill enhancement, cultural enrichment, and enjoyment. Students have ample opportunities for creative development and career orientation.
