Purdue University Fort Wayne and the First Year Advising Center care about the futures of all of our students. To that end, the Pathway Program was implemented to allow students a more targeted approach to choosing a major. We recognize the importance and often times difficulty in making this decision - you are not alone. The center staff assists students in exploring options and connecting with faculty and staff in academic departments, by promoting analysis and exploration through an individualized pathway plan.
If you’re comfortable expressing yourself through song or visual media, you’ll be at home in the Visual and Performing Arts Pathway. You’ll learn to express yourself using a myriad of methods: visually, vocally, with an instrument, and using design techniques and methods. Most within this pathway appreciate and value art and artistic expression, and wish to become familiar or more familiar with the major achievements in the history of art, including the works and intentions of leading artists past and present. You’ll experience an environment that encourages free and open inquiry, diversity, the cultivation of creativity, and artistic collaboration.
