Liberal Arts with an Area of Emphasis in Creative and Applied Arts
These courses emphasize the nature of artistic activities and expression of art through analysis, examination, performance, and technical development. This emphasis provides students the opportunity to develop a multidisciplinary and global perspective within the arts. Students may explore technological art forms and gain an appreciation of their influential relationship with contemporary culture and society. This area of emphasis provides students with lower-division major preparation and a foundation for upper-division study for a wide range of majors within the arts, including applied computer graphics, animation/illustration, art, dance, film, graphic design, information technology and communication design, music, television, film and media studies, and visual and performing arts.
