Curriculum Guides
Curriculum Guides are suggested courses of study which may include more or less
than the RSCC degree requirements. They are not intended to represent requirements
for any particular college or university. Students should consult articulation agreements,
the catalog of the school to which they intend to transfer, and their advisor for
specific degree requirements. Actual RSCC degree requirements appear on page 93.
Computer Art and Design Degree: Associate of Arts Or
Associate of Science
The A.A. or A.S. degree with an emphasis in computer art and design is geared toward
those students desiring to transfer to four-year institutions to pursue advanced degrees in
graphic design, fine arts, or computer enhanced design. This program will also provide an
excellent two-year degree base for those wishing to pursue further work in related fields
such as interior design, communications, or television. To complete requirements for graduation
from the A.A. or A.S. degree in Computer Art and Design, students must pass competency
tests in six areas: basic computer skills; pagination; Raster Graphics; Vector
Graphics; 2-D animation; and 3-D animation. In addition, students must pass an advanced
exam in one area of specialization. An internship is also required.
