Associate of Arts, DTA - Art Specialization

The Art Specialization of the Associate of Arts (DTA) degree prepares transfer students with the foundation Art classes required at most four-year institutions and a strong art portfolio to apply for the Art Major at that institution.

Alternatively, an Associate of Arts degree from TCC with a Specialization in Art supports and enhances an application in an art-related field that does not require a BA and can lead to employment at a museum or commercial art gallery; working in a print-shop that produces signage for advertising; a screenprint company producing printed garments; a photography lab technician; an art studio technician; an assistant to an artist, among others.

All public universities in the state of Washington have a language requirement at the bachelor degree level. Students should review those requirements and ensure they meet them prior to transfer. World language credit can be applied toward humanities, multicultural, and general elective requirements of the Associate of Arts degree.
