The Department of Performance Studies has two undergraduate programs, one in Music and one in Theatre Arts. Each provides a comprehensive, liberal arts-based education in its discipline. A strong goal of our programs is that students will emerge from their education as scholar-artists, informed citizens prepared for the world of work and able to apply the skills acquired in their studies to all of the elements of their lives.
