The faculty will challenge your individualistic abilities
while providing a supportive atmosphere. With this environment you will
have the opportunity to specialize in an area of the arts that most interests
you and most compliments your unique abilities. Benedictine's programs
are specially designed for the further development of your unique talents
and prepare you to successfully enter the career force in the field of
your choice. An arts administration graduate is uniquely prepared for
careers in the many diverse businesses related to the arts. Music graduates
are trained to utilize their talents to teach and perform music. Studio
art graduates develop the visual and technical skills that are flexible
and adaptable to many art-related professions.
"Becoming an artist is deemed to be the most significant use of the
mind and heart, and one of the most challenging." William Scarlato,
a fine art faculty member. He has a Bachelor in Fine Arts degree from
Northern Arizona University in Painting and received his Master in Fine
Arts concentration in Printmaking from Yale University. He has passionately
worked at Benedictine for 15 years and has been teaching for 25 years
total with three years experience in Sussex, England. He is only one example
of our exemplary faculty. Benedictine is a traditional four-year university
and offers arts administration, music and studio art. Students also have
a fine art and music minor available to satisfy those who do not want
to primarily major in the arts.
