PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The CFA is a 3-year program that introduces the student to various areas of the visual arts. Designed to tap the indigenous cultures of Northern Luzon as sources of artistic inspiration, it provides many opportunities to utilize alternative sources of materials for art production. A CFA Student can proceed to the BFA upon completion of the certificate program.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

To promote the study, enrichment and preservation of the traditional and contemporary art forms in the Philippines; and
To contribute to the development of Fine Arts students who can measure up to the standards of admission into bachelor’s programs in Fine Arts and allied fields.
