Program Coordinator
The Performing Arts Program offers exciting opportunities for personal growth, development of vital soft skills and self-exploration. It offers students the chance to find their creative strength and apply that to real world concerns.
With minors in both music and theatre, students can focus on an area of study where they are able to thrive and grow. Whether on stage as a performer or backstage on construction, costume or stage management, this program is the perfect fit.
Our 12 credit minors are the perfect complement to any major within the liberal arts setting. These programs allow students to engage in the following areas: piano, voice, Arabic music, acting, singing, dance, design, technical theatre and playwriting, among others.
If you want to explore your creative self, this is the perfect fit for you!

Why choose the Performing Arts Program?
The Performing Arts Program offers students a unique opportunity to delve into the fields of music and theater. By choosing to pursue a minor in theatre or music, students get an in-depth understanding of the fields through theoretical study, and showcase their talent by taking part in concert performances and theatrical productions. They also gain valuable hands-on experience by participating in the technical and backstage components of music and theatre productions.
The program also offers exciting introductory courses for students who have an appreciation for music and theatre, but choose to pursue their studies in different areas, such as business, architecture, humanities and social sciences. We provide theatre courses on dramatic expression and the history of drama and dramaturgy, as well as music courses on aural and sight-singing skills, choral ensemble, classical musicology and world music. Our presentation and performance courses foster creativity and promote participation, inclusiveness, diversity and understanding in an increasingly interdependent world.
Some of our students are aspiring actors, musicians and singers, while others are interested in the history and development of music and theatre as a field of study.
Our esteemed faculty members not only carry out original research in their specialties but also have extensive experience as performers in the fields of music and theatre.
We invite you to become part of our vibrant and creative world.
