College Leadership
The College of Arts and Media (CAM) promotes scholarly rigor, innovative experimentation, and creative production. Here, students find opportunities in Architecture, Art and Design, Journalism and Advertising, Media Arts, Music, and Theater and Dance. More arts and media under one umbrella than anywhere else in the state. Venture out of the boundaries of your program and create and learn with other CAM programs. We hope you’ll join us.
