Academics

Arts and Communications

The Theatre, Visual Arts, and Communications department teaches marketable skills useful for graduates in any field of study. Students from associated majors whose future careers will require proficiency in art, graphic design, public speaking, performance, or the practice of persuasive communication will benefit from departmental involvement. Programs will prepare you for a broad range of careers. Communications students are cross-trained in virtually all aspects of communications like, media writing, public relations, and television productions to name a few. The theatre program offers production experience for all enrolled, including freshman. There are many cooperative opportunites with the Newberry Opera House, for students to work in this beautifully restored, state-of-the-art professional house. As a visual arts major, you will create and exhibit artwork from your very first class through your senior finale.
