Welcome to the Associate of Arts Degree (Art History) - Transfer

An Associate in Arts in Art History for Transfer (AA-T) from Skyline College is intended for students who are interested in transferring to a California State University (CSU) campus with a major in Art History, or similar major. The degree promotes an understanding of art across time, cultures and geographic boundaries. Students are taught to apply fundamental art and art historical terminology and methodologies to analyze works, in order to articulate the historical, social, and aesthetic functions of art. An education in art fosters creativity, encourages independent thinking, and develops personal expression. Develop visual literacy through communication, analysis, and reflection of artworks and the concepts and influences from which artworks originate. Develop physical/technical skills within an art/design based medium to be used as tools for creative expression. Students completing an AA-T degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Students transferring to a CSU campus that accepts the AA-T will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor's degree.
