CR Associate of Arts

Program Full Description

This program is designed for those students who have a special interest in entering the world of graphic design. The program prepares students with a foundation in fine arts, as well as thorough instruction of the tools and techniques needed for digital art and website creation. As in the Fine Arts program, the Graphic Design curriculum consists of a partnership between LCCC and The Baum School of Art, Allentown. While some students may pursue the program of study for personal enrichment or employment rather than transfer, the degree is designed for students preparing to enter a program leading to a baccalaureate degree at a four-year college or university. Because the requirements of four-year colleges or universities vary greatly, students should choose an intended transfer college as soon as possible and work with their advisor to coordinate course selection with the intended transfer institutions program. All students will be expected to prepare a portfolio for transfer or employment applications
