The College of Fine Arts

The College of Fine Arts has professional programs in art, music, and theater and awards the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees. Programs leading to certification to teach are offered in cooperation with the College of Education and lead to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree. The college offers minors in art, music, theater, and dance.

With one of the largest arts programs in the commonwealth, IUP's College of Fine Arts offers members of both the university and the extended community many opportunities to learn and grow. Dedicated facilities for each department are augmented by a 1,600-seat auditorium, two theaters, two art galleries, a university museum, a recital hall, a computer laboratory, and a dance studio. Typically, the college sponsors two hundred to three hundred arts events annually, and our students, who currently enjoy the strongest academic profile of any of the university's colleges, have opportunities to develop their talents locally, regionally, and even nationally through a variety of long-established field-based programs.

There are four objectives for the College of Fine Arts:

to provide special academic programs for majors in the arts
to provide service courses for other departmental majors
to offer all university students general courses in the arts
to make cultural programs in the arts available to the university, the surrounding community, and the local region

There are no additional college requirements for graduation beyond the university and departmental requirements listed in other sections of this catalog.
