Where does my path start?
You will complete an Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) at Shoreline. Review the requirements in this planning guide to understand your path in this program.
Once you complete your Shoreline degree, you can choose to transfer to a four-year school to earn a Bachelor’s degree or continue to develop as an artist without pursuing a four-year degree.
About the Associate in Fine Arts
The Associate in Fine Arts - Photography degree is designed to meet the general education requirements at Washington state four-year institutions and to prepare students for baccalaureate majors in Photography. Portfolio presentation is often a determining factor in acceptance and placement in a Fine Arts Major, and this degree includes a strong emphasis on portfolio development. This degree also provides a solid foundation for further artistic development and direction for the student who does not plan on transferring for further academic study.
