The Associate of Science (AS) Degree is designed for students
transferring to Oregon State University. Classes that meet Art
requirements at OSU are listed below. Students transferring to the
College of Liberal Arts at OSU can earn degrees in Applied Visual Arts,
Art, Art History, Fine Arts, and Photography. Students transferring to Oregon State can
also earn degrees in Graphic Design or Interior Design,
which are part of the College of Business at OSU and thus subject
to different requirements – please see your advisor for guidance on
preparing for these degrees. Students who wish to transfer seamlessly
into any art major at OSU should talk to their advisor as soon as
possible about taking classes at both LBCC and OSU through the Degree
Partnership Program (www.linnbenton.edu/degree-partnership).
Requirements
General Education Requirements: 43
See the graduation requirements for the Associate of Science degree.
Liberal Arts Core Requirements: 6-15
See the degree requirements section for a list of Liberal Arts Core courses. These are courses required for degrees in the College of Liberal Arts at OSU. OSU does not allow students to take courses in their chosen discipline to meet this requirement. Although 15 credits are required before graduating from OSU, students in the Fine Art track will take only six prior to transfer to OSU, which will allow students to complete the Pre-Portfolio Core in Art (below). Students in the Photography track will take only nine Liberal Arts Core credits prior to transfer.
Program Requirements: 48
