The Art Department is dedicated to helping people explore their understanding of art through creative research and study. Traditional fine arts media such as ceramics, drawing, and painting are offered alongside modern technology-based tools and programs for use in print and web design. These classes provide students rich opportunities to secure a creative career in a competitive market, expand their education (which can transfer to other institutions), or pursue a lifetime hobby.

Degrees
ASU-Beebe currently does not offer a degree in Art. However, you may focus on Art in the following degrees:
*AFA Degree
Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts (AALA)
The Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts (AALA) is designed for students who wish to complete the first two years of a baccalaureate program before transferring to a four-year institution. Students who know where they will transfer and what their major will be should be able to plan their degree, with the help of an ASU-Beebe advisor, to maximize transfer. Even students who are uncertain of their transfer institution and/or major, the AALA guarantees that the general education core is satisfied at Arkansas 4-year institutions.
Courses may be used to both satisfy the elective requirements of the AALA and provide a foundation to prepare the student for a bachelor’s degree program. ASU-Beebe is not authorized to award an Associate of Arts-Liberal Arts degree with a specific area of emphasis. Only the listing of Associate of Arts will appear on the transcript and diploma.
All electives must be chosen by the state-mandated directed electives list. Students preferring a broader range of elective opportunities should choose the Associate of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Associate of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences (ASLAS)
The Associate of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences (ASLAS) degree is designed for students who wish to complete the first two years of a four-year program with specific transfer requirements before transferring to a four-year university. Students who know where they will transfer and what their major will be should be able to plan their degree, with the help of an ASU-Beebe advisor, to maximize transfer.
Under Arkansas Act 747 of 2011, all associate of arts and associate of science degrees will transfer to all state-supported universities. Furthermore, these degrees will satisfy the general education core requirements as determined by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education Coordinating Board. In some core areas, such as Mathematics, higher-level courses may be required as a pre-requisite at the four-year institution. For students pursuing an Associate of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences, it is important to know as soon as possible to which university they intend to transfer. In this way, the ASU-Beebe advisor can assist the student into courses that maximize transfer hours.
The ASLAS offers greater flexibility for students, who choose, in consult with their academic advisor, 25 elective hours to complete the degree.
ASU-Beebe is not authorized to award an ASLAS degree with a specific area of emphasis. Courses may be used to satisfy the elective requirements of the ASLAS degree and provide a foundation to prepare the student for a Bachelor’s degree program. The diploma will read Associate of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences.
