Which major offers a unique focus on community and planning within the School of the Arts?

The major that emphasizes community and planning within the School of the Arts is Historic Preservation and Community Planning. This program is distinctive because it combines the principles of historic preservation with the needs and aspirations of communities. Students learn how to protect and conserve historical sites and integrate these efforts into broader community planning initiatives. This unique intersection aims to promote cultural heritage, enhance community identity, and foster sustainable development.

In contrast, the other options focus on specific artistic disciplines and performances such as Art History, Dance, and Theater, which do not inherently incorporate the aspect of community planning or the preservation of historical contexts in their core curricula. While each of these majors contributes to the arts in valuable ways, they do not have the same focus on the community and planning dimensions that are central to Historic Preservation and Community Planning.
