Purpose

The School of Creative Arts unites future professionals and dedicated faculty and staff within a mentor-apprenticeship culture devoted to the promotion of artistic excellence, entrepreneurial vision, and Christ-centered servant-leadership within three departments - Art and Design, Media and Communication, and Music. Faculty enthusiastically prepare students for 21st century careers through imagination, innovation, and immersion.
