The Department of Art & Music

The Department of Art & Music boasts an internationally renowned faculty of stellar scholars, artists, and musicians. The curriculum in Art & Music offers our students an opportunity for the development of intellectual, creative, imaginative and independent thinking and skills unique in the College.

Students who study the arts statistically outperform those who do not in all subject areas; and are far more likely to succeed as professionals and responsible members of their communities.

 

The Department of Art & Music prepares students to develop into superior, well-rounded, and accomplished intellectuals and professionals, whatever their chosen career paths. Committed to academic excellence, the Department offers courses in global art and music theory, history, and practice—both historical and contemporary – that are designed to imbue our students with exceptional creative skills, substantive historical and scholarly knowledge, and significant enhancement of their cognitive abilities as they pursue careers in law, criminal justice and related fields.

 

 

 

The Department offers a minor in both art and music.
