Southwestern University is one of only a handful of undergraduate liberal arts universities that support a separate school of fine arts. We believe in enrolling students who are engaged learners, ready to grow both in and out of the classroom, and eager to explore new regions of thought and creative expression. A Sarofim major is coupled with an engaging and diverse curriculum.
Our programs lead to the BA in studio art, art history, music, and theatre, as well as the BFA in Studio Art and the BMus in music. We also provide programs to minor in architecture and design. All are designed to prepare graduates for a variety of paths in and out of the arts: teaching, professional work, or graduate school.
Financial support from the Friends of Sarofim affords Southwestern students opportunities like no other, and allows students like Savannah to gain important professional experience that will last a lifetime.
With your gift to the Sarofim School of Fine Arts, you join a special group of people who are committed to the arts both at Southwestern University and in the community. Friends of Sarofim are among our most valued contributors, providing the financial support to create a culture of artistic and academic excellence.
