The 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.

In its major, the Department seeks to enable students to move freely among artistic disciplines. Through a curriculum that encourages students to create and respond to various art forms, students will be prepared for further academic or professional studies in the arts and related fields or to pursue a career as an artist (where apprenticeship and training are available in the field). Faculty, both individually and as a whole, actively advise and help shape students’ development.

The following are potential concentrations a major or minor could follow with creative arts faculty advisement: art history, arts administration, arts therapy, liturgical arts, digital art, digital and graphic design, interior design, painting and drawing, acting, directing, musical theater, theater design and technology, theater management and producing, conducting, vocal performance, music studies, vocal performance.
