Minor in Expressive Arts
With this minor degree option, students of all majors will be exposed to a multimodal approach to therapeutic experiences that utilizes arts, drama, dance, writing, music, and other creative processes to assist individuals, including those with disabilities and mental health or substance use issues. Expressive arts interventions have been demonstrated in research to provide positive effects for individuals with a wide array of conditions, including trauma disorders, substance use disorders, cancers, and neurodegenerative disorders. Students learn to assist by encouraging individuals to explore their responses, reactions, and insights through pictures, sounds, photographs, words, and movement.
