"Follow your Passion"

This has always been my advice for finding success and satisfaction in one's career and life. In the College of Fine and Performing Arts, people know it to be true. Whether that passion is art, communication, music, theater, or dance, each student uses that sense of devotion to one's call to find meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.

Many of our students graduate and progress into productive careers related to their disciplines, while others capitalize upon the extraordinarily transferable skills provided by their degrees and move into careers outside of fine or performing arts. Today’s workforce demands employees with creative attributes, and that puts our graduates at a distinct advantage.

In the College of Fine and Performing Arts, we seek students and partners who are serious about exploring their creative capital.  It's a great time to follow your passion. Come and see what we have to offer.
