Courses of StudyThe goal of the Creative Arts Department is to engage students with works of the creative imagination. Courses are designed to achieve this goal through three approaches: 1) by developing within students an aesthetic appreciation of the arts of the world in which they live, 2) by enabling students to understand the arts as they reflect the cultural spirit of various epochs in human experience, and 3) by encouraging the unlocking and development of students’ own creative potential and skill.
In its major, the department seeks to enable students to move freely among the artistic disciplines of visual art, theater, music, and electronic journalism. Through a curriculum that encourages students to create and respond to various art forms, students will be prepared for further personal, academic, or professional work in the arts. Faculty actively advise and help shape students’ individual personalized courses of study within the major according to their interests and career goals.
