Performing Arts Minor
The Minor in Performing Arts encourages an appreciation and life-long participation in the arts while developing a sound skill set as authors, performers, designers, and technicians. The Minor is one of the ways that we participate in the wider Marianist educational tradition by educating the whole person.
