Creative Arts Fellows Program
A collaborative program between the David R. Hayworth School of Arts and Design and the School of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences
The Fellowship Advantage
The Creative Arts Fellows Program provides students with a four-year, experiential, teambased scholastic experience with like-minded students. Working with a dedicated director of the program, students are provided personal mentoring, networking travel and opportunities to learn about careers in the ever-changing arts world from scholars and practitioners. Students in the Creative Arts Fellows program will participate in value-added learning experiences that embrace the university’s growth mindset philosophy and connect students to faculty, peers and professionals. The programming is threefold, focusing on community building (personal and professional), experiential learning and leadership development — culminating in a well-rounded graduate who can differentiate him/herself in the public sphere.
WHO SHOULD APPLY?
Successful applicants to the Creative Arts Fellows program will have a declared major in art, dance, English (creative writing), graphic design, music, and theater and have a track record of interest in studying the arts. Previous exhibitions, performances and a robust portfolio will be an advantage for applicants. The program is highly selective and is limited to the top 25 incoming students in applicable majors in each entering class.
