As part of CCEP, students are introduced to a variety of the academic majors available at Clark. We do this to provide students an opportunity to learn more about an area of interest and to learn about programs they may not have considered before.
Visual and Performing Arts
You are a creative non-conformist. You see beauty in ordinary places. You dare to dream, and want to share your talents with others. The Visual and Performing Arts major at Clark is a broad, multi-faceted major. Students may study Art History, Studio Art, Music, Screen Studies and Theatre Arts.
Students may delve into the criticism, history, philosophy or theory of these art forms, or may pursue them creatively.
