The School of the Arts is a community of artists and scholars-students,
faculty, and staff-dedicated to the fulfillment of the human spirit
through creative expression and careful scholarship. The School of the
Arts offers professional education to artists and communicators within
the framework of a liberal arts education. The school encourages all
of its members to pursue their artistic and scholarly work in an environment
that challenges complacency, nurtures personal growth, and maintains
a strong culture of collegial integrity.
Members of the School of the Arts strive to create art and scholarship
that acknowledges the past, defines the present, and anticipates the
future. Art, communication, music, and theatre are mediums of understanding
and change which reward those who participate in them, whether as artist,
scholar, learner, or audience. Performances by students, faculty, and
guests of the school enhance the cultural prosperity shared by Paci?c
Lutheran University and its surrounding environs. The school promotes
venues for collaboration between artists and scholars, among artistic
and intellectual media, and between the university and the community.

Art, Communication and Theatre, and Music.
