Mission Statement
The Communications and Arts Division strives to provide quality education to its students. The division works to help prepare students for success and fulfillment in both college and in their lives beyond college, through the myriad courses the Division offers.
Program Structure
Most General Education courses are offered in blended online, or web-enhanced formats.
Job Opportunities
With an Associate of Arts degree, students can transfer and work towards several different majors at the undergraduate level. Our most popular result is students who choose to major in education and become teachers, especially in the public schools. But the AA Degree also serves as a gateway to higher degrees in Psychology, Sociology, and myriad other options.
Students who graduate with the AAS in Visual and Media Arts or Photography can work for businesses in graphic design, advertising, open their own photography studios, or work for someone who has a studio.
