The Department of Fine Arts offers four areas of study: art, music, speech and theatre, and worship leadership. Six degree programs are available. Students may major in Music, Speech and Theatre, or Worship Leadership to receive a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music, or Bachelor of Music Education. Minors are available in Art, Music, and Speech and Theatre.
Offerings in music are designed to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to read, understand, perform, and create music. The curriculum accommodates students who are preparing for careers in the teaching of music and church music ministry. Ensemble and individual performing experiences are provided at all levels. The combined academic and performance skills developed should ideally enhance a student’s aesthetic appreciation of music.
BMCU offers band scholarships. For more information about BMCU's marching band - BlueSound, the BMCU Jazz Ensemble, or the Concert band, contact Greg Long at glong@iarerobotics.com or call at 662.685.4771 (Ext. 185).
As a Speech and Theatre major, students pursuing the interdisciplinary B. A. in Speech and Theatre will have opportunities to grow and develop into strong artists equipped with a solid foundation of theatre professionalism in the context of a Christian environment. Students will gain hands-on experiences through theatre productions, workshops, field strips to plays within our region, master classes, and professional guest artists. The culmination of critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity is at the heart of this program.
The studio courses are designed to develop the student’s facility for handling various drawing and painting media and to enhance awareness of the formal and expressive functions of the visual arts. The history courses are intended to increase the student’s understanding of the meaning and purpose as well as the historical development of the arts. The education course is intended to provide prospective elementary teachers with an introduction to the nature and function of art; it will also introduce students to a number of projects and techniques, which can be used in the classroom.
