The arts are systems of communication that teach us about human interaction and creativity in problem solving. They challenge our perceptions and teach us to sense and interpret the world around us, and they bring us pleasure.
Students may choose from a variety of courses in visual, performing and media arts. Theoretical, historical, and performance-based classes reveal how personal expression can both reflect and change the culture from which it springs, develop creative approaches to problem solving, communicate in profound and exciting ways, and help us better understand and experience what it is to be fully human and alive.
