Department Of Fine Arts And Communication

At Concord University, your creativity is more than a talent—it’s an opportunity to discover your voice, develop your skills, and prepare for a future doing what you love.

The Department of Fine Arts and Communication brings together six dynamic disciplines: Art, Advertising/Graphic Design, Music, Theatre, Communication Arts, and Esports. While each area offers its own unique opportunities, they share a common goal: helping students develop the confidence, creativity, technical skills, and professional experience to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

At Concord, you won’t get lost in the crowd. Our faculty work closely with students in the classroom, studios, rehearsal spaces, performance venues, and beyond. You’ll have opportunities to receive individual attention, collaborate with your peers, perform and exhibit your work, participate in hands-on projects, and explore your interests alongside professors who are committed to your success.

Our faculty bring professional and academic experience from respected colleges, universities, and creative industries, but what matters most is how that experience benefits you. We challenge students to grow as artists, performers, communicators, creators, and collaborators while providing the support and mentorship to help them reach their goals.

Whether you are creating a work of art, performing on stage, making music, telling stories, developing media, communicating ideas, or competing in esports, you will have opportunities to learn by doing and build experiences that extend beyond the classroom.

As you progress through your program, you’ll move from developing foundational skills to applying those skills in increasingly sophisticated and professional ways. Along the way, you’ll discover not only what you can create, but also what you are capable of becoming.
