Interdisciplinary Minor in Creative Arts and Performance Studies

The interdisciplinary Creative Arts and Performance Studies (CAPS) program encompasses visual art, music, theatre, and creative writing. It prepares students to participate in arts fields, both as working artists, musicians, writers, and performers, and in nonprofit, public, and private sectors. Our emphasis on public art and arts administration will prepare students to work as arts educators, curators, content creators, and administrators. The CAPS program will also provide opportunities for the community to attend arts events on campus including concerts, exhibits, and performance, thus reinforcing the relationship between the university and the community. We are firmly rooted in San Antonio’s flourishing arts community, offering particular emphasis on Hispanic and Indigenous artistic traditions, and promoting diverse, multilingual approaches and performances. Broadly, this program increases access and exposure to a range of art forms. Starting in Fall 2022, we plan to offer a new course with a specific CAPS designation as well as courses from other disciplines to satisfy the following minor requirements.
