The Visual and Performing Arts Major, one of the few interdisciplinary arts majors in the country, will give you a strong foundation in visual art, music, and theatre in addition to an understanding of how one art form can inform the others. You will study art history and design fundamentals, music history and aural skills, and script analysis and acting, and you will see what these artforms have in common and how they are performed and exhibited in the real world. Your core courses will help you develop your critical thinking skills and will prepare you to tackle your senior project. With this major, you have the flexibility to receive advising and get hands-on experience in the art form that most excites you.
