For students interested in majors in the College of Visual and Performing Arts

Together students will participate in a one-credit seminar class that will:

  • Participate in the artistic and academic culture within the College of Visual and Performing Arts
  • Engage diversity in all its forms, specifically the ways diversity is portrayed and explored through the arts

  • Emphasis on the creative and interdisciplinary connection between the arts and other fields of study

  • Explore the processes of various artistic practices

The art experience will be comprised of music, theatre, and exhibition experiences shared in the newly renovated Wayland Hall, in venues throughout campus, and field trips to off-campus venues. This will include student and faculty produced as well as field trip experiences and guest artists-produced performances and exhibitions. 

Please note: If you are applying for the Visual and Performing Arts Residential Learning Community, your deadline to select a roommate is May 15, 2023. If you are selected for this RLC, any roommate(s) selected after May 15 will not be guaranteed.
