Programs of Study in Visual and Performing Arts
Students interested in art and design, dance, music, photography, theatre, and other visual and performing arts have a rich
selection of degree programs and one certificate program from which to choose. The Gallery and Museum Studies degree program draws upon the resources of Queensborough’s Art Gallery. The degree in Visual and Performing Arts offers performing and
exhibiting opportunities in art and photography, dance, music and theatre. The degree programs in digital art and design and in
music production (formerly Music Electronic Technology) combine technology with the arts. The course work for the certificate
program can be applied to one of the A.S. degree programs in Visual and Performing Arts.
Students are encouraged to discuss their educational goals with advisers and to explore the articulation agreements
between Queensborough’s degree programs and baccalaureate programs in CUNY and in the New York metropolitan area. Firsttime, full-time students enrolled in these degree programs will enter Queensborough in the Visual and Performing Arts Academy.

Gallery and Museum Studies – Associate in Science (A.S.) Degree
The A.S. program in Gallery and Museum Studies draws on
the unique resources of the QCC Gallery and the Art and
Design Department, and offers students foundation courses in
administration, conservation and curatorial work in art galleries and museums and liberal arts courses necessary for the
gallery and museum field. The arts are crucial to the life of a
civilized community and a vital component in holistic learning. The Department of Art and Design has a broad offering
in courses and curricula, and a well-established and extensive
offering in Art History. The QCC Gallery is fast becoming a
major educational and cultural resource for Queensborough
Community College, the Borough of Queens and the surrounding communities. It serves students as a laboratory
for discovery and creativity in the visual arts. The gallery’s
Permanent Collection focuses on works of contemporary
American women artists, Hispanic artists, and works representing the art of Africa. In addition to the major courses of
the program—four art history courses, courses in art administration, conservation and curating, and two gallery or museum
internships­­—students will take one course in business, liberal
arts courses in English, a foreign language, chemistry, history,
and mathematics. The program has been articulated with the
BA program in Art History at Queens College.

Digital Art and Design – A.A.S. Degree Program
The A.A.S. degree program in Digital Art and Design is
designed to prepare students to enter the greatly expanding
field of new media, a field which has been revolutionized
in the last 15 years with the advent of computer graphics
programs. In addition to four basic courses that provide a
solid background in art, students take five courses in digital
art and design, which develop computer skills for fine and
applied arts. A required course in the History of Graphic
Design gives students an overview of graphic design in historical context. A suggested Art History elective provides a
broad knowledge of art in general. With this preparation,
students will be able to design for industry.
Digital Art and Design students should take AR-642 and
ET-710 as a Writing Intensive learning community.

The Music Production (formerly Music Electronic
Technology) A.A.S. program, the only one of its kind in
The City University of New York, is an innovative program
integrating music production and recording studio training
that prepares students for jobs in the music and recording
industries. Graduates of the program can look forward to
career opportunities at commercial recording and production
facilities, on-site recording venues, radio and broadcast networks, and manufacturers who serve the music production
and recording industries.
To achieve that goal, the curriculum offers a strong
foundation in technology and practical recording studio
experience, together with a broad base of general education
in the liberal arts, sciences, and music. Music Production
classes are taught in the Music department’s technology
laboratories and multi-track recording studios. During their
last semester of the curriculum, students can participate in
the cooperative internship program, which allows them to
work as apprentices in professional working environments.
The A.A.S. degree in Music Production is designed as a
career program that provides the necessary academic foundation and specific training to students who plan to begin
or advance in employment immediately after graduation.
Many students choose to transfer their credits to baccalaureate degree programs at four-year institutions both inside and
outside the City University of New York.
For further information, consult an adviser in the
Department of Music.
