Art + Design Mission
Our mission is to provide students the experience, knowledge, and problem-solving skills necessary to excel in 21st century Art and Design careers. In addition to preparing students for seamless transfer to competitive undergraduate programs and providing exceptional career training, we engender in all students an understanding of Art and its role in all societies and serve as a resource and catalyst for collaborative projects across HCC and the community at large. Art + Design at HCC provides an unparalleled education in both the theory and technical aspects of Art and Design.
NASAD Accreditation
The NASAD accreditation ensures that affiliated programs within the Art and Design Unit at HCC conform to and exceed nationally accepted standards of art and design education. In addition, it establishes professional standards for 2-year, 4-year undergraduate, and graduate degrees and other credentials for art and design and art/design-related disciplines, and aids, institutions, and individuals engaged in artistic, scholarly, educational, and other art/design-related endeavors.
