art degree

Painter's framed paper

An art degree is a credential from an educational institution certifying completion of study in visual arts, design, or related creative fields.

The term often appears in dismissive contexts, implying impractical career preparation: Good luck finding a job with that art degree.

Despite the jokes, art degrees encompass everything from painting to graphic design to art history.
