Is art a key ingredient in your personal life or career goals? Would you like it to play a bigger role? Art courses at Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) will connect you with top-notch instructors and professional artists who can help you on your journey. Through classes in art appreciation, drawing, printmaking, painting and ceramics, students prepare for a deeper dive into an artistic life. Digital arts and honors courses are also available. Tri-C students participate in portfolio-building activities that prepare them to transfer to a four-year institution, or to enter the practicing art world.

In addition, Art Therapy is offered as a transfer track culminating in an Associate of Arts degree. Coursework prepares students to transfer to a bachelor's degree program in art therapy. Students who complete 12 core courses from the Art Therapy track may also earn a document referring them as an art specialist. The document can provide an opportunity to obtain jobs as an activity aid/assistant in a variety of settings.
