Program Overview

PSU’s Social Justice & the Arts Bachelor’s degree taps into Portland’s rich culture of creativity, artists, and activists, and invites students to explore the powerful connection between artistic expression and civic engagement.

In this first-of-its-kind program, students develop their creativity and discover their potential to effect social change in local and global communities. The core curriculum integrates courses in music, theater, film, architecture, art history, and art and design. As students learn about art theory and apply it to their creative practice, they are also immersed in themes like civic engagement, activism, advocacy, and social change.

Students have the opportunity to:

  • Cultivate their creativity through a wide range of art practices and classes in disciplines from design to film to music.
  • Dive deep into courses on the principles of civic engagement and conflict resolution, the arts and social change, the history of social justice movements, and more.
  • Collaborate with groups from different cultural backgrounds and identities.  
  • Engage with marginalized communities through local service learning activities.
  • Learn from expert faculty who are active participants in the creative community as well as educators.

Throughout the program, students will also participate in lectures and workshops with visiting artists and activists from a broad range of cultures and backgrounds.

By the time they leave PSU, they’ll be able to think critically about personal agency (a person’s belief that they have the ability to do the things they need and want to do, and that they are capable of making a difference in their own life and in the larger world) and will have the skills needed to express their commitments to social justice in creative ways.
