Creative Arts

The Creative Arts minor is open to students of all academic majors. It is designed for students who want to study the arts, but not with the focus of a single art form or a major area of study.

The program assists students in developing communication and other skills that can be useful to their major area of study. For example, Professional Communication students will find opportunities to develop creative organization and expression skills. Nursing majors can use the arts curriculum to expand their abilities to respond efficiently and intuitively to a variety of situations.

Students in the Creative Arts program learn about the arts and from them. Although their content is arts-related, these courses are designed to help students to become more effective communicators and problem solvers, both independently and collaboratively.

If you choose Creative Arts as a minor, you will have the opportunity to engage the technology of the arts to further your personality, creative or career goals. For example, in the computer graphics course, you would explore many of the principles used in desktop publishing, while in the sound design course, you would learn how to make "soundscapes" using electronic music equipment.
