Program Description & Outcomes:
Program Description: For majors, the Associate of Fine Arts in Visual Studies is a
unique interdisciplinary studio arts degree. The AFA degree provides students with
fundamental competencies in artistic practice, critical thinking, and creative problem
solving. These core themes are applied to material, process, historical context, concept,
and critical theory. The program utilizes innovative practices and technologies in
the visual arts and creative industry while fostering professional networks and engaging
in dialog with communities on a global level. Students, in collaboration with faculty,
design a curricular emphasis specific to their professional career goals. The entrepreneurial
and professional practices component of this degree prepares students for success
at every level. Students completing this competitive and demanding AFA program will
leave with a keenly developed sensibility and skill set, and are prepared to successfully
transfer to a senior institution and engage with an evolving creative industry.
Students completing the AFA degree should be able to demonstrate the following Student
Learning Outcomes:
- PRINCIPLES OF CONCEPT: Demonstrate an integration of conceptual principles
- MATERIAL PROFICIENCY: Demonstrate a proficiency in materials and techniques
- HISTORICAL CONTEXT: Demonstrate fluency in historical content and context
- CRITICAL THEORY: Demonstrate the ability to critically analyze a work of art

Notes:
AFA candidates must pass all studio courses with a grade of a B- or above in order
to be counted toward AFA graduation requirements.
Additional Considerations
- It is highly recommended that students meet with a faculty advisor prior to registration
to assure expediency in the curriculum
- The AFA curriculum is designed to prepare students and promote successful transfer
into 120 hour BFA programs and is an option to the 63 credit hour AA or AS (80 credit
hour AFA + 40 credits at senior institution = 120 hour BFA)
- In consultation with a faculty advisor/mentor Studio Elective courses will be selected
to create a curricular pathway based on each student’s unique career goals and specific
interests
- AFA and BFA degrees do not require a foreign language or a minor
- Based on a student’s college preparation, i.e., AP credit, concurrent enrollment,
transfer credit, summer course work, and overall college readiness, the AFA can be
completed in five semesters
- The AFA includes two co-curricular degree requirements: 1) Foundations Review (entrance
into the program) 2) AFA Thesis Exhibition and Oral Defense
- AFA candidates must pass all studio courses with a grade of a B- or above in order
to be counted toward AFA graduation requirements
- Always consult the catalog to assure when each course is taught
Associate of Pre-Engineering Degree (APE)

Department’s webpage: www.snow.edu/encs
Department’s catalog page: www.snow.edu/catalog/dept_encs.html
Program Description & Outcomes:
The Associate of Pre-Engineering (APE) degree is offered to students who plan to transfer
to a university and pursue a baccalaureate degree in any of the traditional fields
of engineering. This degree requires an emphasis of course work in engineering, mathematics,
and science; with fewer general education requirements than that required for the
associate of science (AS) or the associate of arts (AA) degree. However, it is recommended
that a student earn the AS as well as the APE while at Snow College. These additional
general education credits can be acquired by transfer of college credit taken while
in high school, by taking credits during summer semester, or by transferring credits
back to Snow College from the university. The option of taking some general education
classes at the upper division level in the university is consistent with Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) standards.
Course work for the APE degree must include the completion of a minimum of 64 semester
credit hours as specified below. (At least 21 semester hours must be resident credit
earned at Snow College.) Credit may be transferred from any accredited college or
university for which course equivalents have been certified. The minimum grade accepted
from transfer credit is C- (1.7). A cumulative grade point average of 2.0 must be
earned on course work completed at Snow College.
