The Northern Wyoming Community College District will now offer a program leading to a certificate in visual arts.
Approval of the new certificate came during Tuesday night’s meeting of college district trustees. District President Dr. Walter Tribley said until now there has been no intermediary achievement benchmark in the visual arts program. Students who participate in the new program would receive a certificate after completing one year, 15 credits, of course work.
Dr. Estella Castillo-Garrison, who is the vice president of academic affairs, explained how the program is organized.
Dr. Tribley said the program gives students the option of leaving college after one year with the certificate or continue their education to get their degrees. He said the certificate will not require any additional faculty.
