• Music
  The Music program of Black Hills State University provides students with opportunities for aesthetic development in the areas of musical perception, knowledge, and performance. We believe that music is a shared human experience, and a cooperative educational environment is essential to the growth of individual musical sensitivity.

• Art
  The Black Hills State University Art program is dedicated to an educational atmosphere that gives all students the opportunity and freedom to grow artistically and personally with a strong commitment to the development of the whole individual.

• Communication Arts
  The emphasis in the communication arts degree is on the creation and manipulation of graphics and images. Students learn the basics of drawing, design, and photo imaging. The students then apply the principles learned in a series of computer courses.

• Mass Communications
  The Department of Mass Communication at Black Hills State University develops skills and prepares students for careers in graphic design, photography, broadcasting, telecommunications, journalism, public relations, and multimedia.

• Theatre
  The Black Hills State University Theatre provides an academic and artistic environment in which students may develop both intellectual and artistic skills.
