What You’ll Learn
The AFA degree offers students an opportunity to transfer to a four-year BA or BFA degree. Essentially, students take the first two years of a four-year college or university program in visual arts. The program also helps students strengthen personal creative work and explore a variety of creative techniques, mediums and disciplines.
The Forsyth Tech Visual Art program offers performance and exhibit opportunities each semester, visiting artist panel discussions, field trips to galleries, museums or theatre performances, work-based-learning (internships) and AFA program and college transfer advising.
