One of the marks of a great university is a deep and enduring commitment to the arts. At Belhaven we are deeply committed to the arts and to artists.
Music
"The one word to describe my music experience at Belhaven is 'Growth.' I am more prepared for my goal of being a teacher. I have worked to develop my artistic skills as a musician and dancer, and now I have more knowledge to be able to impart to future students." Alexandra Sahli, from Lodi, CA
Dance
"I chose Belhaven because of the diverse classes and the holistic approach to dance. You learn so much about the different avenues you can take as a dance major and where your career could lead in the dance world." Jonathan Bostelman, Columbus, Indiana
Visual Art
"I have learned how to ‘see’ art—not just looking at it, but noticing all the technical details, engaging with a piece mentally and emotionally, understanding why a piece makes me feel a certain way, and having some idea of the artist’s intentions." Deja Harris, Mississippi
Theatre
"There is an energy here that is very different from any other liberal arts or Christian university. The people here value educating students to be excellent in their craft as well as their character." Jenna Corrin Kahley, Rockford, Illinois
Graphic Design
"I’ll be ready to go into the very competitive field of graphic design with the right skills and a strong Christian worldview." Kathryn Veldhorst, Oostburg, WI
Film Production
"I will be prepared to work in any and all things film, television and digital media-related. The film program is so versatile in the career route you can take, which is great for me as I'm the type of individual who doesn't like to limit himself." Marcus Shelton, Jackson, MS
Creative Writing
Belhaven only Christian university in the US offering a Bachelor of Fine Arts in creative writing and one of only 26 undergraduate institutions offering such a degree.
"I will have gained the experience in writing that is needed to create good pieces of literature and have the opportunity to be recognized in the literary world." Anna Lopes, Sao Paulo, Brazil
