艺术，传播与戏剧是一个充满活力和创新精神的创意团队，由该部门的5个计划组成（艺术，新闻，语言传播，数字媒体与电影和剧院）。我们专注于将理论和实践与实践经验学习，社区经验和跨学科参与相结合。我们邀请您来参加我们独特而又合作的计划。希望获得另一门专业的双学位或专注于基础更广泛的文科教育的学生可获得文学学士学位。所有美术专业的学生都可以参加相同的核心课程，尽管后来几年通常更灵活，以便学生追求其他学术重点。
In the Art, Communication and Theatre Department, students are exposed to a myriad of learning opportunities that can lead to careers in media, advertising/public relations, art, and theatre. The department provides instruction for students studying in the fields of art, print and online journalism, sports journalism, advertising-public relations, social media, live web streaming, radio/television and theatre. In addition, students interested in education can gain certification in act, speech and theatre arts. The department also offers specialization at the elementary level for speech. In Art, students learn the fundamentals of artistic expression in order that their developed individuality may lead them toward one of the many directions found in the field of art. The Ben Bailey Art Gallery allows the department to carry out an ambitious exhibition program that is part of the university's commitment to the promotion of culture in South Texas. Participation by students and faculty in exhibitions provides a significant expressive and educational experience. Faculty and students also exhibit their work throughout the area and state and have exhibited internationally in Mexico, Canada, China and different locations in Europe. The program offers a comprehensive B.F.A. degree that provides students with strong foundations in drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics and metalwork.
