The academic units of the College of Communication and Fine Arts consist of the Departments of Architecture, Art, Communication, Journalism, Theatre and Dance, and the Scheidt School of Music.

You will find that at times the Department of Architecture seems more like a cutting edge architecture firm, where students work feverishly to complete a project; the Department of Journalism like a newsroom full with future reporters, photographers, and Internet or broadcast journalists, and that in the School of Music and the Department of Theatre and Dance "all the world is a stage,"  or a recording studio or costume shop.

Life-size sculptures, postcard-size paintings or images of ancient Egypt may greet you in the halls of the Department of Art, and students analyzing political debates in Rhetorical Studies courses can be found in the Department of Communication alongside students behind humming cameras from the department's film and video production program.

All of our academic units are accredited and perform consistently with the highest standards in their fields. We are proud to offer a depth of programs and concentrations, and a faculty that is dedicated and well trained in the academic and artistic professions.
