Selecting a major will be one of the most important decisions you will ever make. When you choose Art, Music or Journalism you are beginning an exciting and rewarding career with instruction and hands-on experience on the Lincoln University campus, in interaction with other students. However, many of the art, music, theater, and journalism courses will be valuable to you, even if you select a major from another department at Lincoln. Many of the art, music, theater, and journalism classes are open to students as electives and you can take them to enrich your life, both now and in the future. |
