“Friends University Fine Arts

Department has become my second

family, and they have helped in ways

that I will never forget.”

– Natassia Howell

“The best part of my day is arriving

at Friends University and being part

of what I love - music.”

– Conner Siler

ExcEllENcE IN ThE FINE ARTSThe Division of Fine Arts fosters a long tradition of excellence. We have had performing arts on our campus since 1900 and visual arts since 1917. This heritage informs our 21st century model of providing outstanding educational and creative experiences through dedicated faculty/mentors, more than 20 guest musicians, choreographers and artists, and 150 concerts, performances, exhibits and events annually.

A commitment to creating out-of-the-classroom learning experiences and inviting guest artists to campus exposes our students and faculty to relevant, artistic creativity and innovation. It also serves as a valuable source of inspiration and a model for successful careers in the arts.

“The Fine Arts Department here at Friends University is truly something special!

Being surrounded by incredible musicians all the time inspires me to work hard and

BAllETThe Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ballet degree is designed to foster excellence in preparation for a professional career in the world of ballet with opportunities for additional studies in teaching, administration and therapy. Each ballet degree plan can be uniquely designed for individual students depending on interest, ability and goals. A dance minor is offered for students seeking a major in another discipline.

Our goal is to offer a ballet education that creates talented performing artists so they may achieve their future goals and become confident leaders in their profession. Final projects are designed to propel students into creative, successful careers. A nurturing and supportive environment, combined with professional ballet training, enables dancers to reach their full potential physically as their passion for arts education increases.

Friends University’s ballet department involves a number of guest artists, teachers and choreographers each year. Our repertoire includes ballets by George Balanchine, Twyla Tharp, Dominic Walsh, Shawn Stevens and many others. We are committed to introducing our dancers to current artists in the world of dance at large.

out of it was so much more. There is such a wonderful sense of community and

friendship across the campus. I have grown in both my personal and spiritual life,

as well as artistically and technically.”

– Alicia Chin

ThEATRETheatre productions offer a variety of opportunities to perform, collaborate, create and produce stage plays, musical theatre, improvisation and original scripts. At Friends this means that you can participate in performance or production leading to a Theatre minor which partners well with a number of majors and academic paths. Students come to learn creative ways to solve their educational, vocational and artistic problems using critical thinking skills based upon solid work experience in theatrical performance and production. This sets the stage for success in many areas of endeavor.

Theatre at Friends means ensemble: working intimately with others toward creative ends. Theatre at Friends also means working independently: setting goals, becoming motivated and meeting deadlines. Theatre at Friends means good play joins good work in a fun and creative community. A variety of annual productions and projects provide ample opportunity for students to perform, create and learn.
