The RC studio-arts courses are in ceramics, drawing, elements of design, fiber arts, photography and holography, printmaking and sculpture. These courses are for beginning as well as for advanced students. This program is designed to foster an understanding of music and to develop a student's creative and music skills. The program offers courses in music theory, history, composition, and vocal and instrumental music. Course offerings are designed for both beginning and advanced music students.
Students have a variety of opportunities to participate in musical performance ensembles.
The RC also has faculty specializing in studio arts, drama, music, creative writing, and language study. RC faculty are distinguished not only by their scholarly and creative work but also by the fact that they have chosen to dedicate themselves to teaching and advising undergraduates. Many have won awards as teachers, scholars, and artists. All classes are small, and teachers encourage intellectual dialogue. Play productions by members of the RC Drama Program and vocal and instrumental recitals by students are common in the RC Auditorium.
