The mission of the College of Fine Arts is to contribute to that of the University. To do this, our activities are centered around
discipline-specific study, and inter-disciplinary collaboration in preparing students for careers in the visual and performing arts.
Moreover, the College recognizes its role as a “window” through which the community views the institution. Hence,
the College’s mission is also to project a progressive image for the University that is full of vitality, and continually
evolving toward excellence.
The primary goals of the College are the following:
- To provide appropriate professional preparation to students
aspiring to careers in the visual and performing arts;
- To provide relevant educational experiences in the arts for
the general university student who may elect courses within the
College for the purpose of expanding and enriching his/her experience;
- To provide comprehensive and quality visual and performing art
experiences for the University and East Texas community;
- To provide a quality faculty who are a) effective teachers, b) current
and active in their disciplines, and c) engaged in meaningful service; and
- To provide and support additional activities and opportunities appropriate to the mission of the University.
