The College of Fine Arts and Communication offers undergraduate and graduate programs of exceptional quality in selected disciplines. The college's primary mission is to prepare the next generation of artists, communicators, and scholars not only to participate in their various disciplines, but to provide leadership in their fields. The college is comprised of the Departments of Art, Mass Communication and Theatre, Music, Speech and Public Relations, and Writing, as well as the Reynolds Performance Hall. The many disciplines within the college share a dedication to both rigorous studio practice and scholarly achievement. Through its communication venues such as broadcasts, conferences, exhibits, live performances, publications, readings, recitals and screenings, the college shares its artistic achievements and communication expertise with the general public.
