Department Of Fine Arts And Communication

Welcome to Concord University’s Department of Fine Arts and Communication. At Concord, we strive to create an atmosphere that allows a student’s artistic expression and creation to grow. We are able to do this by giving students the freedom to work closely with their professors in the classroom and to work individually. Our faculty and staff have attended top colleges and universities and are able to give students the benefits of their experiences so they may better develop their skills. The Department of Fine Arts and Communication is separated into five disciplines: Art, Music, Theatre, Communication, and Esports. Our programs are set up in such a way that students will become more and more proficient in their chosen discipline the further they progress in their studies.

Housed in one of the finest facilities of its kind, the Department of Fine Arts and Communication provides academic programs in Art, Music, Theater, and Communication. The Department also participates in many interdisciplinary programs and activities. Many co-curricular programs provide activities in the Fine and Performing Arts to the academic community and the community-at-large.

Professional musicians, actors, speakers and artists are brought into the community through the Artist-Lecture Series, which is sponsored and administrated by the Department of Fine Arts. Participation in these community outreach programs provides firsthand practical experience for students in public relations, advertising and professional development.
