Visual and Performing Arts Learning Communities

Learning Communities, a signature part of the Cornerstone Program, consist of three courses: two courses in different disciplines with an integrative seminar course. Students are enrolled in all three courses and work with a pair of faculty to better understand a significant problem or issue through the integrated use of both disciplines.

The Visual and Performing Arts Department contributes greatly to the array of Learning Communities that are offered to Stonehill students:
