Beginning with the awarding of its very first degree, which was in music, and extending into the 21st century, Seton Hill has embraced the excitement and promise of the arts. Through its programs in Art, Music, and Theatre, the Division of Visual and Performing Arts provides students with professional preparation in the arts with the kind of personal attention that is the hallmark of a Seton Hill education. Students are guided by the division's faculty of artist-teachers, all of whom are active in the professional world, creating an artistic environment that is both a mirror and a gateway to a life in the arts. Students and faculty, women and men, together create an artistic community as vibrant and diverse as the arts themselves.
