Los Rios Community College District

What you'll study

The catalogue entry identifies Art & Art History as a combined field of study; specific course choices, sequencing and module titles vary by campus. Typical study in such programs includes foundational studio courses and survey courses in art history, with options to pursue transfer-oriented coursework under the AAT pathway or focused technical training through certificate tracks.

Entry requirements

The program listing indicates standard community-college access through the Los Rios campuses. Detailed prerequisites, placement rules or admissions steps are set by each college (American River College, Cosumnes River College, Folsom Lake College, Sacramento City College) and should be confirmed on the individual campus program pages.

Career prospects

Art & Art History credentialing at the associate or certificate level supports multiple short- and medium-term outcomes: preparation for transfer to four-year art or art history degrees, entry-level roles in galleries, museums, arts administration, or creative production, and pathways into further technical or professional art training. The AAT is specifically designed to facilitate transfer to baccalaureate programs in art-related fields.

Scholarships & funding angle

As district-level undergraduate programs, funding opportunities such as college scholarships, district grants, and local financial aid administered by each Los Rios college may be available. Prospective students should consult the financial aid and scholarship offices at their chosen campus for current options and eligibility criteria.
