At Normandale, we believe art is for everyone. We foster each student’s individuality and growth through associate in art degree programs that embody both excellence and value.
You can take studio courses in drawing, painting, ceramics, photography, digital media, as well as art history. Art courses are intended to give a well-rounded foundation in the arts.
As an art student here, you have transfer pathway degree options. There are two transfer art programs available, depending on what path in art you choose to take. Both require 60 credits and once all requirements are complete, you will be able to transfer to a four-year Minnesota State university as a junior.
Art Transfer Pathway (AFA)
Art Transfer Pathway (AA) with Emphasis in Art
The art department is accredited through the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). This makes Normandale one of the top community colleges with art programs.
You’ll build a solid foundation in your study and practice of art as you work your way toward an associate degree in Art. Whether you are studying art as a part of a larger liberal arts education or if you want to become a professional artist working in a studio - Normandale is a great place to begin building a path to a career in art.
