COLLEGE OF MUSIC AND FINE ARTS Welcome from the Dean Dear prospective student: Welcome to the College of Music and Fine Arts at Loyola University New Orleans. I am thrilled you have chosen to apply for admission to the college.

Please visit our website (cmfa.loyno.edu) to learn more about the accomplishments of our internationally renowned faculty and alumni and the ongoing successes of our current students. You will also find information on our many guest artists and Loyola’s special relationship with New Orleans.

Donald R. Boomgaarden, Ph.D. Dean, College of Music and Fine Arts

Loyola University combines professional study of the arts with the Jesuit tradition of educating the whole person. It also enjoys the benefits of being located in one of the most culturally rich cities in the country. New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz, the home of the nation’s oldest opera company, host to a vibrant visual arts district, and bursting with professional musical and theatre organizations. We don’t just practice or teach the arts— we immerse ourselves in them.

But simply visiting our website or reading this publication cannot provide you with all the information necessary to make the important decision regarding where you will receive your arts education. It is vital to visit our campus; attend a music, art, theatre, or ballet class; take an applied music lesson; or tour our facilities.

We invite you to view an exhibit in one of our three on-campus art galleries or see a performance in our 600-seat Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall or in the Lower Depths—our more intimate experimental theater. I encourage you to meet our faculty and, most important, talk to our current students.

Be sure to spend the time necessary to make an informed choice for your future education.

When you visit the College of Music and Fine Arts, you will find our faculty as I know them: dedicated artists and educators who are truly concerned about your development and future as a professional in the arts.

We pride ourselves on continuing to provide the rigorous training and high expectations that have been our hallmark during the past century.

If you have any questions about the College of Music and Fine Arts, do not hesitate to e-mail me at cmfa@loyno.edu. I look forward to meeting you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Donald R. Boomgaarden, Ph.D. Dean of the College of Music and Fine Arts David P. Swanzy Distinguished Professor of Music

Bachelor of Science

Music therapy is a wellestablished health profession in which music is used to address physical, emotional, cognitive, communication, and social needs of individuals. Music therapy professionals assess the strengths and needs of each client and provide appropriate treatment, which may include creating, singing, listening to, and/or moving to music.

New Orleans brings music to life, combining the old with the new. Loyola students keep the city’s rich musical heritage alive by performing on the same stages as many legendary musicians who paved the way for American music.

It is only natural that a jazz studies program would begin in a city steeped in jazz heritage and culture.

Creating the Theatre Artist

New Orleans and More

Our undergraduate program offers individual attention and opportunities through mentorship with our dynamic professors. Our students learn all aspects of theatre arts, including performance, dramaturgy, costume, scenic, lighting, sound, publicity, and box office management to become well-rounded theatre artists. Loyola students learn a theatrical vocabulary that allows them to communicate with other theatre creators and focus within specific areas of interest at an advanced level.

They enjoy the freedom to experiment artistically, intellectually, and technically.

New Orleans is home to an active theatre community with many opportunities for students to experience their art. Loyola productions have been recognized by the Big Easy and Louisiana State Theatre Festival awards. Loyola theatre students have worked at various local theatres, including Southern Rep, Jefferson Performing Arts Society, Rivertown Repertory Theatre, and Summer Lyric Theatre. Internships are available locally as well as out of state by special arrangement. Our students have studied abroad at the British Academy of Dramatic Arts, interned at the Avignon Theatre Festival in France, and performed as part of a complete medieval Chester cycle of plays in Canada.

Putting Theory into Practice Productions at Loyola are just that—Loyola productions. We give our casting and production assignments exclusively to Loyola undergraduate students. Four main stage productions, one-act festivals, workshops, directing projects, and guest artists allow plenty of opportunities for our students to become involved. Past guest artists have included Susan Sarandon, John Guare, Wole Soyinka, and Eric Overmyer, as well as Fulbright scholar Arben Kumbaro.

ART + DESIGN

DEGREE PROGRAMS The Bachelor of Fine Arts program provides extensive training for students who wish to become professional studio artists and who would like to develop a portfolio in preparation for graduate school.

The Bachelor of Arts program prepares students for careers in studio art administration in areas such as the heritage industry, museum industry, and arts administration.

Studying visual arts at Loyola University New Orleans provides you the opportunity of a lifetime. Whatever area of art truly inspires you, you’ll find the flexibility you want to study it here. Merging a broad liberal arts curriculum with practical, hands-on courses gives you a great starting point for a career with museums, art galleries, agencies, and more.

Jesuit Education Our visual arts programs emphasize the study of art within a liberal arts context. Students look at the big picture and the impact that they have on their art in contrast to the impact their art has on them and the broader world. We encourage students to explore various disciplines before choosing a specific focus. College Art Association guidelines require a maximum of 25 students in introductory level courses. Our freshman classes allow a maximum of 15 students. Upper-level classes may include five to 10 students, who each receive personal instruction.

Get Involved Our students become active in the city’s rich arts community. Whether they review the works from St. Claude Avenue collective galleries or work with Julia Street art dealers and the city museums, students gain the critical thinking and social and business skills required to compete effectively in the contemporary art world. Students travel to meet working artists in cities such as Houston, New York, and Chicago, as well as to participate in art-based study abroad programs. We encourage students to participate in exhibitions in one of our three on-campus art galleries.

Skills for the real world One of the most valuable experiences Studio Art and Graphic Design students have in their time at Loyola is their internship. With the program’s stellar reputation, galleries in the renown Julia Street district and the French Quarter continually request Loyola interns, as do city museums such as the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Graphic Design students take on internships with

reputable design/marketing firms such as Solomon Group and routinely pursue art and animation experiences with Pixar. The internship is the perfect opportunity for students to practice their skills and gain critical thinking and business skills required to compete effectively in the contemporary art and design world.

Distinguished Faculty Our distinguished faculty members have exhibited work across the world and appeared in numerous publications. We have fellowship and grant winners from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as Fulbright scholarship recipients.

Our faculty members have won awards from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and Joan Mitchell Foundation and are members of numerous visual and graphic arts societies around the country.
