School of Fine Arts

"I came to Belhaven because of its accreditation in all of the arts. It is especially helpful since I am a double major in Graphic Design and Theatre. Because of my degree from Belhaven, I will be able to head out into the world with a strong foundation in acting, as well as be well-rounded enough to take on other theatre related jobs."

"My favorite thing about the music department is how 2 Corinthians 3:7 is exemplified through our professors. They are fruitful followers of the Lord. As God leads them, they provide insightful, caring, and earnest instruction that has helped me to find freedom in working out my calling."  

Kayla Asgaralli

Hannah Gillis

"I was in search for good creative writing program; Belhaven came out at the top of the list. During my time at Belhaven, I have come in contact with many different perspectives on writing, and have been able to expand my understanding on the art."

Since coming to Belhaven, I know that these are some of the best years of my life. I have already made lifelong connections here."  

Ollie Porter

"I am more prepared for my goal of being a teacher. I have worked to develop my artistic skills as a musician and dancer, and now I have more knowledge to be able to impart to future students. Because I majored in two different arts, I have gained a broader perspective, and I hope to be able to teach a variety of subjects."

Alexandra Sahli

"I came to Belhaven because there is an energy here that is very different from any other liberal arts or Christian university. The people here value educating students to be excellent in their craft as well as their character. Because of my theatre degree from Belhaven, I feel it is possible to be a thriving professional in the arts without compromising my faith in Christ."

Anna Howard

"I chose to come to Belhaven because I felt that God was leading me here. I knew that it was important to build a strong Christian foundation, especially when pursuing an arts degree. There were other schools with great Theatre departments, but Belhaven was a school that I could grow in my craft to a high degree while fostering and building upon the commitment I have to Christ. I feel that I will be prepared and equipped for whatever opportunities come my way in the future."

Dawson Broussard

"Belhaven is a unique place to study art. I never would have had the confidence to pursue this degree anywhere else."

Sarah Guinn

"Belhaven places such a high emphasis and appreciation for the arts that is rare to find in other schools. The fifth-year free promise for double majors is an added perk that I knew I wanted to take advantage of and allows me to pursue other interests. Because of my degree from Belhaven I feel prepared to take on a career in the arts while focusing on my values."

Mandi Redmond

"I chose to attend Belhaven because of the small size and Christian atmosphere. I knew that I would get more personal attention here than at a larger university. When I visited Belhaven my senior year I knew that this was the place for me. Upon graduating, I am ready to start my career in graphic design. The assignments I am given in class are not only fun, but they also teach me how to solve design problems and give me experiences that are necessary to be a successful designer."
