Fine Arts
Auburn Montgomery’s Fine Arts department combines the discipline of visual arts and music, offering a major in visual art and a minor in music. The curricula in visual arts and music, through teaching the traditional principles, methods and techniques, will provide a sound foundation upon which specialized pursuits may be built.

Comprehensive exposure to the many creative possibilities in the visual arts while providing a meaningful general education in the liberal arts and sciences.
Studio Art (FAS)
Intensive studio course work and training for students who wish to become working artists or pursue graduate degrees in art.

Intensive studio course work and training for students who wish to do design work in print, web, and other media.

Pre-Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Building Science, and Interior Design (FAA)
The College of Architecture, Design and Construction of Auburn University (main campus) has arranged with the Auburn Montgomery Fine Arts department to advise prospective transfer students. One year of credit toward the Auburn University Architecture degree may be earned at AUM if the appropriate courses are taken. Pre-Architecture students are encouraged to apply for admission to the AU College of Architecture as early as possible and, if accepted during their tenure at AUM, to apply for admission to the Summer Design Program at AUA to complete the design sequence (ARCH 1010, ARCH 1020).
Acceptance of transfer students into the AU College of Architecture is not automatic, and there is considerable competition for the limited number of openings. Enrollment for the fall semester is normally closed by the preceding February.
