Interested in the Performing Arts


In these difficult economic times, students are hearing that they should choose a college major that leads directly to a career. This may include nursing, pharmacy, engineering or a myriad of others. This often leads the student interested in music, art, or the performing arts confused and discouraged.

Students and parents may want to remember that a theatre major, for example, is not limited to performing on stage. These students are trained to speak and demonstrate in front of a crowd, develop creative ideas, and relate ideas to an audience. Many businesses would love to have someone with those skills. Check out this site from UNC Wilmington's Career Center to see other skills and potential jobs for students majoring in theatre.
