Job Description

Who we are

The College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts is for students who love to imagine, create, learn, and grow. It’s for those who love to explore new ways of seeing the world and who understand the magic that can happen when beauty and technology merge. Students will gain the practical, real-world skills and theoretical frameworks needed to become leaders in the highly competitive fine arts world of the 21st century. The visual and performing arts are well-established and respected programs at Texas A&M University. They include dancers, directors, computer graphics engineers, composers, art historians, sound technologists—and much more. Effective September 1, 2022, our Dance Science, Performance Studies, and Visualization programs joined forces to combine these strengths with world-renowned Aggie expertise in science, engineering, and technology. What else is ahead? One priority is a new, $175 million, state-of-the-art performing arts building that will also be a hub of engagement, creation, and discovery for future generations of Aggies in the fine arts. Learn more about us and our exciting future at College of Performance, Visualization & Fine Arts website.
