(University Parallel)

The courses offered in art provide a foundation for visual arts majors who plan to transfer, after two years, to a senior college or university. The curriculum includes courses leading to the Associate in Arts degree with emphasis in the visual arts and additional courses that offer cultural growth to those living within the college area. The courses are also designed to encourage participation of non-art majors. All art majors must take the foundation courses Drawing I and Design I during their first semester, followed by Drawing II and Design II the following semester to ensure transfer of credits. These classes are also pre-requisites to other art studio courses, (3-D Design, Painting I and Painting II, Ceramics I and Ceramics II). Art majors must take the freshman level courses in sequence in order to receive proper transfer credit and must take Exhibition Class each semester enrolled as an art major at JC. Each semester art majors must enroll in art classes and submit a portfolio for jury by art faculty. Scholarships available to freshmen and returning students are usually awarded based on the quality of the student’s portfolio and are decided on an individual basis. Transfer credits to four-year institutions can be based on the quality of student work; therefore, all art majors are required to participate in juries (portfolio review) at the end of each semester. Juries are necessary for art faculty to ensure progress and to advise in the preparation of portfolios.

Pathway Requirements:


The following advisement plan is a recommended course of study. Academic pathways offered at Jones College are designed to meet the educational needs and advancement of students who plan to transfer course credit to a university and complete a bachelor’s degree. As part of each academic pathway, students will take courses to meet Jones College’s general education core requirements and electives as determined by the student and his/her faculty advisor. All academic pathways are designed to lead to an Associate of Arts degree.

To streamline the transfer of credit from Jones College to any university in the State of Mississippi, Jones College participates in the articulation agreement between the Mississippi Community College Board and the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning. For the purpose of ensuring transfer-ability within Mississippi, the Mississippi Articulation Transfer Tool (MATT) shall be used to advise and guide students in choosing the best courses to take as part of the requirements to graduate from Jones College with an Associate of Arts degree.
