Create & Perform with us

At Ursinus College, There are so many ways for students to truly live the arts on campus, such as performing in dance or music concerts, participating—either on stage or behind the scenes—in theatrical productions, showcasing their writing in our literary magazine, or displaying their art in the Annual Student Exhibition.

Adding to the vibrancy of campus are a variety of student-run organizations, including a cappella groups, dance and theater troupes, a gospel choir, a literary society, and a step team. Each year, Ursinus bolsters its commitment to the arts by awarding scholarships to standout applicants who excel in the areas of creative writing, dance, music, and theater.

At Ursinus, we focus on collaborating across the arts and sciences, creating an interdisciplinary approach to learning for all students.
