What can I do with a degree in Performing Arts?
In the Department of Performing Arts, you may study dance, music and theatre.
Graduates in Dance
are dance educators, professional dancers, choreographers and dance studio owners.
Graduates in Music
are professional performing musicians, music educators, studio musicians, private
music studio teachers, music composers and arrangers and professional
conductors.
Graduates in Theatre are theatre educators, professional actors, theatre technicians, designers of lighting, sets or costumes and directors.
Almost 100 percent of our education graduates are offered teaching jobs their first year.
What will I learn?
In
dance, you will learn the art and science of movement, expressing every
human emotion and awakening the same feelings in an audience. You choreograph your own dance concerts.
In
music, you will learn to teach, perform, understand and enjoy music,
as well as how to use sound to convey and kindle human emotion.
In
theatre, you will learn the art and science of the stage -- the hard work
and social consciousness that go into the temporary world of a play. You design and direct your own shows.
