Art at Collin

Collin College provides general academic courses and electives for students who plan to transfer to a college or university. Because of the various transfer requirements at colleges and universities, and to ensure enrollment in appropriate courses, students should verify course transferability and degree applicability with a Collin College academic advisor and/or the college or university that they plan to attend.

To earn an associate degree, complete the 42 credit hour General Education Core, and 18 credit hours of general studies electives and the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree requirements.

Check with your transfer institution before registering for general studies electives to make sure your courses will be degree applicable to your bachelor's degree at the transfer institution.

Collin College's Art program fosters a creative environment where you can learn the skills to become a successful artist. The Art program offers foundation-level courses in drawing, design, art appreciation and art history, as well as courses focused on traditional studio disciplines such as drawing, painting, watercolor, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking and metals.

Our spacious labs will provide you with access to professional-quality equipment, including printing presses, ceramic kilns, electric pottery wheels and a metal-casting foundry. Our gallery space, The Art Gallery, exposes students to the work of current professional artists and showcases student work in both open and juried student shows.

Our instructors are nationally recognized, practicing artists who are dedicated to helping you explore, research and practice the visual arts.
