    Basically if you're an officer it means you make more money and you get more respect than an enlisted officer because you would be of a higher rank (I would highly recommend it as opposed to enlisting).

    What you have to do is go talk to an officer recruiter (not a regular recruiter). Don't really know what you'd be doing with a degree in art but I'm sure they have something. One thing that might be an issue is that you need to be either pursuing your bachelors degree or already have it. Sorry I'm not much help but I found these links that might help a little more.
