Creative Expression and Meaning
Making sense of the world through creative work
The purpose of this certification is to provide a multifaceted engagement with the process of creative expressions through diverse, artistic paradigms. Rather than view creativity as a state of mind, accessible only through “talent,” students will learn how creative expression and meaning-making is fundamental to the human experience and how they engage with the world around them.
Students will be able to choose from four classes across music, art, theatre, and languages & literatures. The intersectionality of the Creative Expression and Meaning certificate will help students understand the essential interrelation of the arts, in all of its modalities, to life through embodied engagement, making creativity accessible and connected to students’ daily lives.
