Art Department

The Art Department's original location was at the Fine Arts Hall on main campus. But this relocation has not just been an asset to the downtown area of Columbus, it has also encouraged more students to attend classes. The goal of the Art department is to not only draw more students, but to draw more people from the area of Columbus.

Schwob School of Music

The Music Department is located at the Schwob School of Music. This department has been at the RiverCenter for over 4 years. With its three concert halls and instructional facility, the Schwob School of Music is one of the finest schools in the country. This school takes on the role of one of many Columbus attractions just ninety minues southwest of Atlanta.

Theatre Department

The Theatre Department was also originally located directly below the Art Department in the Fine Arts Hall on main campus.The theatre department aims to educate its students so that each student will productively be prepared for professional employment in theatre careers and even in graduate study. The RiverCenter is greatly appreciated of these students who have the passion for theatre arts so that one day they will take their talent to a production where audiences are always welcomed to attend.
