The goal of Notre Dame's Fine Arts Department is to develop awareness in each student of her own creative potential. Courses offered in Fine Arts are a broad spectrum for both the beginning and advanced student. Using downtown San Jose as a classroom, Notre Dame students enrich their daily curriculum with visits to The Tech Museum, San Jose Repertory Theatre, San Jose Museum of Art, and San Jose State University, just to name a few. Notre Dame women are women of Faith, Diversity and Community.
