art degree

What are some jobs people can get with an AP studio art degree, in any fields of that degree?

Im a senior in Highschool and I want to know if i go for an Ap studio art degree, what jobs will be available to me. Im kinda leaning toward 3d art but any jobs will do.

AP Art is not a degree; it is a course taken for college credit, but in my experience, the credits are not transferrable. You will not be able to find a job just by taking AP Art.


How many credit hours for a degree in art history?

I am aiming for a bachelors in art history, or a bachelors in fine arts with a minor in art history. How many credit hours are needed in order to get the degree? Thank you.

Depends on the school. The school’s website/catalog will give you that info, but 120 credit hours is the usual requirement for most majors. Fine Art may be different, as there are many studio courses required, along with "foundations" courses, which may carry different credit hours.


how much do you improve over an art degree?

this might be a stupid question, but i was just wondering from anyone who’s finished a degree in fine art or illustration do you think you’ve improved alot? and do you tihnk you’ve become better at drawing from your imagination?

No & NO do not draw from your imagination unless of course you are some kind of slave locked in a cellar in some small eastern European country.


Can you get into visual merchandising after a degree in Fine Art?

I’m looking into a career in VM, I’m currently half way through a Fine art degree, and don’t want to really be in education further after, doing a VM course. Just looking for some advise etc
many thanks :)

Dutchess,
You bet! Owning your own business opens the entire world to you. There’s not much you can do for your own business. A few words of caution though: take lots of business courses. That will help you to get a bigger picture about what controls the markets you enter, understand how to select your merchandse for sale, and more things than I know to tell you about! A master’s degree will also contribute to your ability to be in the driver’s seat for your business. Don’t be controlled by the markets, be in control of them.

What’s the difference between AS (Associates in Science) and AA (Associates in Art) degree?

My college has better (and more specific) offerings for AS than AA .. What is the REAL difference between the two? I already have an entry level job with a great company.. but which looks better for a job? Is it better to generalize yourself by getting a "Business Admin" degree or is it better to specialize ?
PS – My current job is as an e-commerce data assistant for an online shopping site.. But I MIGHT want to move on to accounting, or some kind of office technology.. I know my ideal job should be in an office and with computers.. What is the best degree to keep my options open?

Business Office Technology
Administrative Assistant Option AS
Executive Secretary Option AS
Legal Sectary Option AS
Secretary Option AS
General Office Option AS

its just classification, depending no the type of degree you obtain. if it is a study of art then its an aa, like theatre, english, et al, but a science, like chemistry or biology is a AS


What job opportunities are open to me by having an associates of art degree?

I have an Associates of art degree and I am curious as to what job opportunities are open to me. I am now working in an industrial field, but I am tired of the working conditions ( heat, dangerous fumes, did I mention heat?) And I am also tired of not using my education that I worked so hard for. Please help!!!!

You wrote, "What job opportunities are open to me by having an associates of art degree?"

OK, repeat after me: "Do you want fries with that?" ;-)

Seriously, though, you could go into advertising or marketing or publicity and probably do quite well.

Good luck!… ☺


What qualification do you get at the end of an Art & Design foundation degree?

I’m applying for a 1 year art foundation degree at college before going on to university and I was just wondering what qualifications I would get at the end of it.
Like is it A, B, C grades, or distinctions etc…?

Thankyou!! :)
Oh, and if anyone is doing/has done a foundation degree do u know what the approximate amount of hours in college are? as I am thinking if there’s a lot of time to spare, I will get a part time job :]

Most foundation degrees are a BTEC, so you get a pass, merit, distinction. (Or a referral or fail)

Mine was full-time. 4 and a half days (half day for lectures).
And its the same on my degree course too. Though I’m on a pretty intensive fine art course. Some degrees only have to turn up to uni a few times a week, its a bit different cause I’m all studio based.

9-4ish. Sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on how much work we have to do.
Not many people want to hire anyone for an hour or so each evening, and Saturdays. But give you lots of time off when you have an assignment due.
Hardly anyone in my class has managed to get a job with such un-regular hours. Just piling it all in in the holidays.

You can get EMA on foundation courses though.
I’m just living off a loan :/


Can I practice art therapy with just an art degree?

I have a Bachelors of Art in Communication and a Bachelor of Art in Art.

No, you’d need probably at minimum a degree in social work or some kind of certification that you are licensed to dispense "therapy".


Can you have an Art Degree to work in fashion magazines?

Hi everyone, I am a senior in high school and I am not sure if I should go to an art school to work in the fashion magazine business. Of course, I would at least have a minor in writing. Thanks for the help.

Of course, you can get just about any job with just about any degree. But yes, art school would be beneficial, especially a major related to design. Depending on what type of work you would want to do, you could also look into also getting a degree in communications. Just make sure you look for opportunities to do internships, as these jobs are hard to come by.
