Creative Arts in Practice Minor

Creativity abounds

The arts are integral to the development of self-expression, innovation and well-being. Through arts experiences, students learn to observe and engage with and shape the world, which provides opportunities for professional preparation and personal growth.

In Alverno's Creative Arts minor, you will develop awareness of and control over the expressive potential of your body and voice. You will also focus on how your intellectual and emotional processes affect your learning and creative impulses.

You will engage with creative processes from visual art, dance, music and theatre. At the beginning level, you will study all four artistic subject areas. At the intermediate level, you will choose courses that suit your personal and professional needs. At the advanced level, you will select one art area and delve into it more deeply.

If you love the arts and can’t choose among them, this is the minopr for you!
