Majors

Art and Design Department

At Bluefield College we specialize in the traditional arts of Drawing, Painting, Ceramics, and Sculpture. We also offer classes in Graphic Design and Art History. Our curriculum is geared for preparation to attend graduate school or enter the work place. You can major in Art, Graphic Communications or pursue teacher certification in Art Education.

Music Department

The music curriculum is designed to train music educators and church musicians, to help all students gain a better understanding of and appreciation for a variety of musical expressions, and to provide experiences which result in intellectual, artistic, emotional, and spiritual growth for its students. This is achieved by providing studies and experiences relevant to a student's background which develop skills in the performance of music, generate insights into the nature of music, and provide for an understanding of the relationship of music to the world in which we live.

Theater Arts Department

The Department of Theatre Arts offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre Arts and Christian Drama. The department offers students the opportunity to pursue a career in the theatre arts and be involved in on-campus productions. The department seeks to provide experiences which will result in intellectual, artistic, emotional, and spiritual growth for its students. Available are a broad range of courses and activities, individualized instruction, scholarships and performance opportunities on and off-campus, an outstanding and highly qualified faculty, and the Bluefield College Fine Arts Series.
