Renewable Materials: Art & Design
Associate of Science Degree
Articulated with Oregon State University
Program Mission
Students in the art and design option are concerned about wood products on an aesthetic level. This option prepares students to
engage with renewable materials on an aesthetic level, whether as interior designers, fine artists or entrepreneurs. Students will
gain an in-depth knowledge of how renewable materials can function visually within the human space. In addition, students will achieve an understanding of green building materials and green architecture. Graduates will be prepared to start their own design-centered businesses or consult others. This option prepares students to engage with renewable materials on an aesthetic level, whether as interior designers, fine artists or entrepreneurs.

Program Outcomes
This UCC program aligns with the programs offered through the OSU College of Forestry Program. UCC students that complete the Renewable Materials: Art and Design AS degree in Forestry will have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to:
- Demonstrate ability to find, compile, analyze and communicate technical information in a concise format
- Demonstrate basic knowledge of wood and similar renewable materials and relevant utilization challenges
- Understand types and functions of renewable materials within the human space. (does space also mean environment
- Engage with renewable materials on an aesthetic level marketing programs for green products
OSU Degree Partnership Program
