Message from the Dean

Welcome to the School of Communication, Media & Fine Arts at Spring Arbor University. Our students are remarkable—creative, kind, and driven to tackle exciting, challenging projects. We view our ability to create and communicate as gifts from God and are committed to using these talents to glorify Him. Whether designing logos, writing scripts, composing music, or performing, every day is a unique opportunity to grow. If you're seeking more than just technical skills and want to be nurtured, inspired, and supported by dedicated faculty, I encourage you to explore our school.

What our students say about the School of Communication, Media, and Fine Arts

Being a Communications major has taught me how to communicate better and share the love for Jesus through my voice. In my classes we learn how to serve God through others with the gift of talking and how to become a good communicator. I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in hands-on learning and speaking the word of Jesus through your voice.
