I am proud to be a part of a thriving Fine Arts program that affords our students a lot of personal attention and hands on experience. In just the last few years we have produced alumni that are singing at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, teaching and performing music throughout the southeast, and starring in major motion pictures. It is quite a record for a small liberal arts college.
