Bachelor of Arts - Liberal Arts - Exploratory Pre-Visual and Performing Arts

The Exploratory pre-major affords a tremendous opportunity for students to discover, create, and learn about themselves, majors, and careers. Students benefit from the guidance, advising and support offered in the Exploratory Advising Center. Beginning with the required course during the first semester of classes, academic advisors assist students in choosing a focus of study.

The Exploratory pre-major does not lead to a degree. Students must declare a degree major by the time they have earned 45 credit hours at Kent State University.

If the student is disciplined, energetic and drawn to challenging artistic environments that demand their best, then a major in the visual and performing arts could be the right choice. Study at the graduate level fosters an exciting intersection between professional training and academic excellence where students are encouraged to create artistic projects that combine theory, history, criticism, pedagogy and interdisciplinary studies.
