Changes to 2006-08 Catalog Highlighted
The Division of the Arts offers technical training and historical, theoretical, and critical studies in art, art history (visual culture), dance, drama (acting, directing, and playwriting), theater design and technology, film and digital media, and music to all UCSC undergraduates, as well as to those undergraduate and graduate students majoring in the arts. The mission of the arts in education derives from their special contributions to human experience and achievement. The arts involve unique ways of knowing, understanding, feeling, communicating, and creating. In education, and at this university, the arts complement humanistic and scientific thought, and students and faculty in the arts are frequently involved in collaborations with colleagues in humanities and science disciplines.
The Division of the Arts provides students with access to excellent state-of-the-art facilities, including music recital halls and practice rooms, an electronic music studio, several theaters, drama and dance studios, painting and printmaking studios, a foundry, film and video editing rooms, a photography laboratory, multimedia computing laboratories, and specialized lecture and seminar classrooms.
Among the division’s many performing and fine arts programs, Shakespeare Santa Cruz, an internationally recognized professional repertory company, exemplifies our goal of combining scholarship with the performance and practice of the arts.
The departments and majors in the Division of the Arts are listed in detail under Art, Film and Digital Media, History of Art and Visual Culture, Music, Theater Arts, and Digital Arts and New Media.
