UNI students with an extensive set of general education, elective and

The B.A. is offered in all of the departments within the college. The
B.F.A. (Bachelor of Fine Arts) is offered by the Department of Art. Additionally
offered is the B.M. (Bachelor of Music) which emphasizes excellence in
performance.

Other Languages (TESOL), Journalism, French, German, Spanish, Russian,

In addition, there are programs offered cooperatively by the Departments
of English Language and Literature and Modern Languages that combine

TESOL. The School of Music offers majors in Music Education and Performance,
Music History, and Conducting which lead to the Master of Music (M.M.)
degree.
Graduate and Certificate Programs
Graduate and certificate programs of the college include a major in
foreign language translation, master's degree, as well as certificate
programs in bilingualism, translation, and interpretation, and international
commerce (the latter in cooperation with the College of Business Administration).
The Department of Philosophy and Religion has a new program that joins
a department major with the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.)
and a recently approved interdisciplinary M.A. degree program in Women's
Studies with the College of Social and Behavior Sciences.
Co-curricular Activities
The College of Humanities and Fine Arts also sponsors a very wide variety
of co-curricular activities for university students in all majors, for
talented high school students, and for the community at large. Some examples
of these activities include music and theatre festivals, the Annual High
School Art Scholarship Competition, forensics tournaments and competitions
and others. These activities, of course, are in addition to the many
recitals and ensemble performances of School of Music individuals, ensembles,
and symphonies, and the many productions staged by Theatre UNI and UNI
Lyric Theatre. The fine and communicative arts are richly represented
in the services offered to our colleagues and students, to the Cedar
Falls/Waterloo community, and the State of Iowa.
Life Preparation
The College of Humanities and Fine Arts prepares its graduates for learning
and for living in a rapidly changing society and economical milieu. While
some of our students pursue teaching careers in the arts or the humanities,
other students, in Communication Scienes and Disorders, for example,
look toward careers as professional therapists. A number of our majors
will become professional performers as actors, artists, or musicians.
The largest number of students in the College of Humanities and Fine
Arts, however, interact with the college through their general education
courses in the humanities, in literature or writing courses, in philosophy
and religion courses, in appreciation courses in art, music, and theatre;
in language courses, or in other electives. Human achievements in the
liberal and fine arts, we believe, are appropriate and useful studies
for all the students of the University. |
