At Duke
Trinity College Division of Arts & Humanities
Trinity College's Arts & Humanities departments are rich places to study, practice and perform art, creative writing, dance, media and visual arts, music and theater. Their programs are defined by the university’s culture of cross-disciplinary research and education. As a result, the whole of Duke serves as a resource for the arts, informing and deepening student and faculty exploration of artistic expression and tradition.
