The Arts at BBA
Media and Performing Arts
Artists are ambassadors of change. A piece of theater, music, dance, film, or a digital creation can make a difference. It can change the world.
The Media and Performing Arts Department presents multiple opportunities, offerings, and experiences to help students develop the necessary skills and knowledge to engage in a lifetime of artistic enjoyment and appreciation. Through project-based learning, application, and opportunities for live performances, students develop a mindset of perseverance along with creative and critical thinking skills. Through interactive feedback from peers and instructors students further develop their artistic voice. Each classroom experience within the Media and Performing Arts allows students to enhance their self-confidence, and communication skills while understanding the importance of resiliency, and self-discipline. Our goal is to help students gain their unique perspective and place within the world.
