M State offers two Fine Arts degree programs:

The Art Transfer Pathway allows you to complete your Associate of Fine Arts degree at M State and transfer your credits directly to a designated Fine Arts degree program at one of the seven Minnesota State universities.

Our Associate of Fine Arts in Music offers both a vocal and instrumental focus. Graduates can transfer seamlessly into bachelor's degree fields in music-related programs.

M State also offers Theatre courses and live stage productions in which students can explore their passion for performance and technical theatre.
