The Arts At Pacific
Paragraphs

Pacific students are creators. From theatre, dance and music, to studio art and sustainable design, to writing and publishing, the creative spirit comes to life at Pacific through performances, ensembles, installations and exhibitions.

Study the Arts

At Pacific, students embrace the power of creativity and storytelling to shape the world around them. They are writers and filmmakers, artists and designers, dancers, musicians and actors. Degree programs in the creative arts give students a pathway to combine rigorous study with creative expression.
