Many students struggle to
decide on a major that is right for them
when they first come to Buffalo State College. Students
who are looking for a way to express their creativity
or become the star they may have always wanted to be, the
performing arts department may be a perfect place to start.
“The arts give us a way to look at the world in a
different, creative way,” said Donna McCarthy, associate
professor and chair of the performing arts department. “Listening,
performing or watching reaches inside and makes us think
at the same time.”
The department offers four majors:
- Theater
- Music
- Music Education
- The arts.
A major in the arts is an interdisciplinary
program that lets a student combine different talents, such
as dance, design, fine arts, music and theater. Minors include
music, dance and theater.
There are 120 students currently majoring in the performing
arts at Buffalo State.
Some performances the department has in store this semester
are:
- Tartuffe, showing April 9-13th
- The BSC Singers, Chamber Choir Concert at 3 p.m. April 27
in Assumption Church located at 435 Amherst St.
