To The people who inquire

“WHaT can yOu dO WITH a fIne arTS deGree?” arT and deSIGn, muSIc, THeaTre Or dance,

we respond “Go ask a Ceo, a doCtor, or even our uMd ChanCellor.” we’ll Give you the opportunity to show the world what you Can do.

No matter what we are inspired to do in life, each of us has a role to play—in business, in our careers, in our everyday activities—that can be accentuated and enhanced by developing our imaginations and intuitions with a degree in the fine arts.

Just ask the company president who leads thousands of employees. Or the physician who must consistently perform under pressure. Or our Chancellor, whose theatre background has prepared her to stand in the spotlight of her career.

Whatever you think this degree might be, it will teach you to think critically, to solve problems creatively, and to bring this professional and powerful skill-set into any career your choose.

Lucky fOr yOu, we’ve been There for years.

This next new age of intellectualism isn’t merely about thinking differently, it’s about being able to express your thoughts, ideas and emotions in ways that most dramatically impact the thoughts of those around you. And when it comes to making an impact, we can offer proof of our performance.

Our School of Fine Arts is the only unified visual and performing arts school in the Minnesota system. We bring students of music, theatre, dance, graphic arts, and studio arts together under one leadership, so you’ll be exposed to virtually endless ideas and inspirations. in our Department of Art and Design, for example, fine artists share space with designers—an idea unheard of in academia and unparalleled in it’s capacity for collaborative work.

We offer the smallest class sizes of any college on campus. Yourlargestclasswon’texceedtwodozenstudents;yoursmallestmightbeundersix.Andeveryclassyoutakewill offer one-on-one instruction—a direct connection with performers and professionals. We’re also the smallest collegiateunitatUMD,whichmeansindividualizedattentionandagreateropportunityforyourworktostandout.

Becominganaccreditedschoolisn’tsimplysomethingyoutryoutfor.Itissomethingthatisearnedbymeetingandmaintaining the threshold standards of our peers—something that has been achieved by only 615 individuals and institutions in the nation.

We’ve sent five Theatre Department productions to the stage of the Kennedy Center. few honors are greater than seeing the lights of this great setting come up on your performance. And we’ve performed well: six UMD school of fine Arts actors have won the seven-state regional irene ryan Acting scholarship—five in the last eight years.

Our university is Minnesota’s out-state cultural center. With facilities, productions, performances and professors that rival those you’ll find anywhere, our school of fine Arts brings music, art, theatre, dance and design to scores of audiences from around the region.

At the school of fine Arts, you’re not merely measured by your performance in the classroom, because your performance is the classroom. Your concerts, your stage productions, your gallery exhibitions, your portfolio—this is where you put in place the fundamentals with which we have prepared you.

After that, you’ll have the courage and capability to go anywhere.
