The Department of Fine and Performing Arts (FPA) at the University of Dubuque offers an interdisciplinary major in the fine and performing arts with concentrations in theatre, music, and dance. The mission of the FPA department is to provide students at the University of Dubuque opportunities for participation and study in music, theatre, dance, and art as distinct yet inter-disciplinary areas of
the fine and performing arts. Through participation in FPA classes, events, and performances, UD students engage the community within and beyond the University. Fine and performing arts students demonstrate a passion for the arts and connect theory to practice through the creation of socially conscious and intellectually adventurous works of art, theatre, dance, and music. The public is invited to attend plays, musicals, and concerts presented throughout the year.
