Performing and Creative Arts Students find ample opportunity for artistic expression. Music resonates throughout the campus, and members of the university community participate in a variety of choirs, bands, and music groups from classical to contemporary. For many, the high point of the year is traveling in the annual music tours. Those interested in acting and theatre may join a dramatic ensemble or help stage theatrical productions. Students may become members of the university drama club and Alpha Psi Omega.
Scholarships are available for qualified students in music, theatre, and art.
