Associate in Arts in Visual Arts Degree Program


Curriculum for students entering program in 2008-09.

Specific Admission Requirements

The Visual Arts program provides students the opportunity to acquire a thorough knowledge of the basic means of visual expression and broad exposure to the history of art in preparation for transfer into four-year colleges and universities and a career in the visual arts. The structured curriculum emphasizes visual perception, technical acuity and artistic philosophy geared toward developing a personal aesthetic.

The first year curriculum provides all students with a common foundation in basic artistic techniques. The following year, students will focus on advanced studio disciplines and prepare a professional portfolio of their work.

All studio classes are held at the Kimball-Jenkins School or Art on North Main Street in Concord, NH and require studio fees payable directly to Kimball-Jenkins. These fees are in addition to the regular NHTI tuition and fees.

The degree of Associate in Arts in Visual Arts will be awarded upon successful completion of the program.
