Overview
Skagit Valley College (SVC) offers art courses for the major and non-major. Students who take courses in the department have the opportunity for their work to be featured in the Skagit Valley College Annual Juried Student Exhibition. Art coursework can be directed toward the development of a quality portfolio which may be used for applications to university art programs. AVA majors must meet with the department chair or liaison during their first quarter of study because careful academic planning is required for completion of the degree.
Sample Career Options

Transfer
This degree is intended to prepare students to transfer to a four-year college or university with most of the prerequisites for an art major completed. This degree partially fulfills the general education requirements (GERs) for four-year transfer. Completion of the AVA does not guarantee admission as an Art major with junior standing. Admission to art programs at many four-year colleges can be competitive. A strong GPA and a quality portfolio are essential components of a strong transfer application. Program Map
Program Maps are an integral part of the Planning Guide. Each Program Map includes a suggested quarterly sequence of courses so you could earn your degree within two years of full-time study. Your Program Map is also designed to help you create an individualized, customized Educational Plan, which is required of all SVC students. To start creating your Educational Plan, please consult with an Academic Advisor. 95-98 credits |
