College Mission Statement
The Lamar D. Fain College of Fine Arts encompasses programs in art, mass
communication, music, and theatre. The primary purpose of the college is to equip
students with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue careers in these
disciplines. The college prides itself on ensuring that its students do what they study:
in its art studios, in its newspaper and television laboratories, and in its concerts,
recitals, and dramatic productions.
Besides providing knowledge and training that will qualify students for jobs, graduate
study, or professional school, the college endeavors to help students develop aesthetic
sensibility, cultural awareness, and social responsibility. The goal is to empower
students to use their talents to enrich and advance society. Thus, the Lamar D. Fain
College of Fine Arts adopts a twofold mission designed to produce graduates who are
both competent professionals and sensitive, reliable, constructive citizens.
