Associate in Fine Arts in Visual Arts Degree - (A10600)
The Associate in Fine Arts (AFAVA) in Visual Arts degree is designed for students who wish to transfer into baccalaureate degree programs to complete a Bachelor in Fine Arts (BFA) degree or a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree with a major in Art.
The Associate in Fine Arts (AFAVA) in Visual Arts degree also prepares students to enter the workforce directly upon graduation as a studio artist, designer, or creative entrepreneur. The program has a concentration in the studio arts which includes courses in two- and three-dimensional design, drawing, painting, and ceramics.
Upon completion, students with an AFA should be able to present a portfolio of work that is strong enough to allow them to continue their work as juniors and begin an area of concentration at the senior transfer institution to which they have been admitted.
Note: The AFA Visual Arts to BFA Articulation Agreement establishes the procedures governing the transfer of credits for students who graduate from North Carolina Community College AFA in Visual Arts programs and apply to BFA [visual arts] programs at constituent institutions of The University of North Carolina. The AFA Visual Arts to BFA Articulation Agreement does not address admission to a specific institution or BFA program within an institution.
