Peck School of the Arts students intern, work and collaborate professionally with regional music organizations, professional theatre and dance companies, film festivals, as well as leading art museums, galleries, and creative agencies.

Whether your interest lies in performance, curation, education, arts administration or beyond, you’ll benefit from access to a thriving creative metropolis while studying in the Cultural Capital of Wisconsin. Speak to your faculty mentors and advisors about critical learning experiences available to you outside of the classroom.
