visual and performing arts department

Unique among institutions of higher education is The Visual & Performing Arts Department of Becton College, located on the Madison Campus at the College of Florham. Here we merge all the arts into one department, encompassing studio arts, computer graphics, animation, video games, film and theater. Why? Because we believe that they all strive to convey feeling, emotion, atmosphere and a human connection with their audience. We believe that students in all these visual and performing arts can learn from and support one another. We also believe that these are arts that require both craftsmanship and creative thinking. Therefore the more experience and exposure to the other related arts, the better artists and craftsmen our students will become. For only once one masters the craft, can one grow into the artist.

That is why you will find, under one nurturing and supportive roof, the following majors:

and the following minors:
animation
art history
computer graphics
film
music
studio art
theatre
Game Design for the Web
