FEDERAL REQUIRED DISCLOSURESPost Baccalaureate Certificate in Fine Art
A number of new federal disclosure reporting requirements for Certificate Programs at all post secondary schools are not in perfect harmony with the mission and goals of MICA'a Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Fine Art. The program is designed to develop studio skills, perfect portfolios and aid in the process of gaining admission into graduate art programs at colleges and universities or to develop and hone specific skills in the process of making art.
FEDERAL OCCUPATION CLASSIFICATIONThe "occupations" that the Post Bac Certificate in Fine Art program prepares students to enter are as vast and diverse as the Post Bac student themselves. Admission to graduate school in an art discipline is difficult to describe as an "occupation" and those students in the business of making art in private studios as self employed artists or those becoming entrepreneurs in the array of fields in the art world at large become even more difficult to classify. The quite general but most appropriate Federal Standard Occupational Classification seems to be:
Classification # 27-1010 Artists-
