Fine Arts
Program Description:
Do you love the Art Institute but aren’t always sure you really understand the art? Would an insider view of the symphony or the opera deepen your musical appreciation? Do you want to develop your musical skills or learn to evaluate the films you enjoy with a critic’s eye? Are you interested in enhancing your own creativity by knowing more about theatre?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then a major or minor in one of the areas of Fine Arts may be just right for you. Choose from three areas of study: Art, Music and Theatre/Film. Art and Theatre/Film Studies can be a major or minor concentration. Music is available as a minor. Art can also be an area of concentration for Elementary Education majors. For more information on this option, view the Fine Arts curriculum requirements.
