Associate of Fine Arts in Performing Arts Program Description |
The performing arts are important as a component of learning and experience for all students. The performing arts provide a unique way to communicate meaning, hone talent, and provide preparation for professional practice. <br> <br>The proposed Associate of Fine Arts supports the College’s mission by providing students with performing experience, practical career skills, and applied technique as a foundation for advancement. Solid training in classical and/or contemporary techniques is given with opportunities for participation in performances every semester. This program helps students to prepare for employment, career advancement, or transfer to a four-year institution with majors in the performing arts culminating in the Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Arts, or Bachelor of Music. The A.F.A. is the recognized credential for transfer to a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) program at a four-year college. The Associate of Fine Arts in Performing Arts provides foundation coursework that parallels the first two years of a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (B.F.A). <br> <br> |
