Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts Gallery

The Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts is widely recognized for its excellence throughout Indiana University, attracting attention regionally, nationally, and internationally. Students interacting with members of the arts faculty have the opportunity to study, grow, and develop within a wide range of traditional programs and professional studies leading to baccalaureate degrees. The four major areas of study are communication arts, music, theatre and dance and visual arts.

The educational process in the school balances specialization against an interdisciplinary viewpoint, which allows for concentrated study, but places it in a context. In addition to the increase of knowledge and skills within their chosen area of study, students also develop critical thinking, communication, and self-awareness skills. Students may anticipate close contact with faculty and class sizes aimed at maximizing educational opportunities. The school embraces difference and encourages students and faculty alike to explore the value of diversity. A close reading of the mission statement will prove beneficial to students applying to The Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts.
