The Siena College Creative Arts Department offers an education that
unites the visual arts, theater, music, broadcast media, and history
through a curriculum designed for students to study, create, and respond
to various forms of art and communication. Faculty actively advise stu-
dents and guide them through specialized tracks within the major based
on their interests and ambitions. Graduates of the Creative Arts are well
prepared for future personal, academic, or professional work in the arts.
The goal of the Creative Arts Department is to engage students with
works of the creative imagination. Courses meet this goal through three
approaches:
- By developing the students’ aesthetic appreciation of the
arts of the world in which they live.
- By enabling students to understand the arts as refl ections
of the cultural spirit of various epochs.
- By encouraging the development of students’ own creative
potential and skill.
The Creative Arts Department offers a Creative Arts Major, a Visual Art
and Design Major, a Theatre Major with tracks in Acting, Design, and Management, a Theatre Certificate, a multimedia certificate and minor, a minor in Creative Arts, and a minor in Broadcast and Society.
