    What is a diploma in creative arts? Coursework is geared to specific fields in the creative arts, whether that is theater, creative writing, fine arts, dance, woodworking or other specific types of arts available at that institution. Individuals may learn to paint, sew, write, draw, carve, sculpt and more, depending on the diploma sought. Most diploma programs take one to two years to complete, though some may take longer for further specialization.

    Creative problem-solving, entrepreneurial knowledge and collaboration skills are all transferable proficiencies that can be learned in creative arts programs. Being able to work with others, solve problems in creative and new ways, and market creative work can prepare students to work in the realm of business or wherever they decide to go.

    How often an individual chooses to attend in any given semester will dictate the cost for that semester along with course associated fees. Before making coursework or school selections, research the programs available via the school's website or by calling an enrollment advisor.
