Academic Programs at ASCC : Fine Arts

The Fine Arts Department provides educational services by offering courses that cultivate expression, emotion and creative writing. Exposure to an immersion in the Arts will enhance and enrich the study of all other academic disciplines. The department offers music, art, dance, speech and drama courses that can fulfill the Humanities requirements in an A.A. or A.S. degree. In addition, the programs for the Associate of Arts degree in Music or Art are designed for students who are planning to continue in a four-year college or university. The department is committed to encouraging students to innovate, create and perform while experiencing a living history through the eyes and ears of great playwrights, artists and musicians.
