If you choose to become a part of the Creative Connections Living and Learning Community, you will live in Seneca Hall and take a block of courses with 18 other Art, Music, and Theatre majors.  This will give you the opportunity to form great connections and study groups.   All 19 of you will take a block of two courses together.  You will also take the Gateway course in music, theatre or art depending on your major.  All of these courses will fulfill a general education or major requirement.

This experience will help you learn how aesthetics, critical thinking, and communication impact the visual and performing arts.   All the arts are forms of communication - COM 100 - Foundation of Communication, will help you better understand and strengthen this critical aspect of your creativity. PHL 100 - Introduction to Problems of Philosophy, will assist you in making important connections between your and the world around you.  What is the nature of reality?  How do we acquire knowledge?  Are artistic judgments objective or subjective?  What is the function of art?  Are there universal ethical standards or are ethical standards relative?  You will also take the Gateway course in music, theatre or art.  These Gateway courses will help you connect to professors and other majors in your department that are not involved in the Living and Learning Community.
