Design, Creativity & Performance Pathway
The Design, Creativity and Performance Pathway provides students with the opportunity to explore the many diverse ways to engage in a creative life.
Students will be immersed in an environment of creative inspiration, interaction and study. They will develop their craft by building skills and techniques to deepen their engagement with their individual artistic practices.
Majors include: Architecture, Art Practice, Art History, Graphic Design, Film, Music, and Theater Arts
Important information for students new to PSU:
Incoming freshmen and transfer students should complete Orientation online prior to scheduling an appointment with their advisor for their first term. Orientation covers the information necessary to select and register for classes, and students may follow up with their advisor afterwards if they have specific questions.
How to meet with a DCP Advisor:
Students in all majors in this Pathway, including Exploratory/Undeclared, are assigned an advisor based on the last two digits of their PSU ID number.

Prospective students without a PSU ID may meet with any DCP advisor or a Transfer & Returning Student Advisor.
