The College offers three two-year degrees in the fields of Photography, Fine Arts and Graphic Design.  The Rockland Art Educators Association is a vital group of Rockland County art teachers that actively promotes youth art and art education.  Its membership includes published authors and professional artists who exhibit widely in both local and national shows.
