Disciplines
The Department of Fine and Performing Arts plays a major role in fulfilling the College's mission "to nurture sound intellectual judgment, keen moral sensitivity, and an appreciation for beauty in the world." In the process of acquiring knowledge of the arts, students develop aesthetic judgment and an appreciation for the value of the arts to humanity. The department encourages students to reach their highest potentials and to use their knowledge and their talents to benefit others.
The theatre programs base their curricula on a liberal arts foundation, requiring a series of "theatre core" courses followed by a concentration in either performance studies or theatre technology. Students have multiple opportunities to enhance classroom training with practical experiences.
