Sample Career Options
|
Transfer
This degree is intended to prepare students to transfer to Washington State University with junior standing with most of the prerequisites for an art major completed. This degree partially fulfills the general education requirements (GERs) for four-year transfer. You may need to take additional GERs at WSU. Completion of the AVA does not guarantee admission as an art major with junior standing. Admission into the WSU Art department is competitive. A competitive GPA and a quality portfolio are essential to compete for admission into the major. Students are strongly advised to select and plan courses with their Art department advisor.
The Associates of Visual Arts, AVA, degree transfers to Washington State University under an articulation agreement.
