We graduate heroes
You learn to call the shots in Lipscomb’s Department of Cinematic Arts. Students will learn to write, direct, film, and edit various types of digital entertainment content through our undergraduate degree program.
One school of music in the heart of Music City
Lipscomb’s School of Music has a great reputation for both contemporary and classical training. Classical music students sharpen their skills in one of the many ensembles at Lipscomb, and contemporary students begin working in Nashville’s professional music scene from day one.
Step on to our stage
Lipscomb’s Department of Theatre is known for top-notch training and award-winning theatre throughout Nashville. The curtain goes up on at least five main-stage productions throughout the year including a musical each fall.
Fashion forward with Fashion & Design
Clothing and fashion plays a role in everyone’s life whether from a daily consumer level or on a larger scale as it plays an integral part in costuming and theater. Our fashion merchandising program teaches students to learn to design clothing and develop fashion lines. Our students also learn how to manufacture, buy, promote and sell fashion through special experiences in Nashville, New York and abroad.
Creative expression of the human experience
Lipscomb’s Department of Visual Arts is well connected to the Nashville art scene and has a trendy art gallery downtown. Art classes are small, enhancing one-on-one interaction with accomplished instructors. The John C. Hutcheson Gallery showcases the work of artists, both student and professional. Timeless art meets cutting edge techniques in the visiting artist program where Lipscomb welcomes artists on campus for two and three day events, showcasing their work and presenting lectures.
