Three primary departments and numerous programs join together in the School, and this convergence becomes the driving force behind the School of Arts & Communication: by combining the talents of students, faculty and staff within these disciplines, the better the educational experience for all. |

This convergence resonates on Capitol Hill. The Utah
Legislature has appropriated funds exceeding $30 million for
a new building designed for the School of Arts &
Communication.
