Within the College of Communication and Fine Arts, scholarship embraces both creative activity and traditional research. Interdisciplinary and collaborative work, engaged scholarship, and applied research are equally valued within the context of the College’s research mission.

Contributions include the creation, performance, and exhibition of new works of art, design: graphic, architectural, interior, scenic, sound, lighting, and costuming; music, theatre, and dance performance, film, video and new media productions, scholarly publications and presentations, commissioned and professional work, as well as other comparable artistic and scholarly achievements.

We are committed to support and strengthen faculty research efforts and to finding ways to increase externally funded research.
