Courses in the Humanities and Fine Arts enable students to create, to communicate their ideas and talents, to interpret the ideas and creativity of others, to develop critical-thinking skills, and to appreciate the arts and humanities.
Activity Scholarships covering costs of books and tuition (equivalent to that paid by Kansas residents) are offered in Mass Communications, Music, Butler Community College Dance Team, Academic Challenge Team, and Theatre. Endowed scholarships are offered in Art. Most scholarships are awarded on the basis of auditions and interviews scheduled in the Spring prior to the following school year. Occasionally, new scholarships are awarded during the Fall for the following spring semester. Awardees need not major in the field for which the scholarship is granted. Auditions and interviews are arranged by contacting the activity director (see below) or the Division (phone 316-322-3325/3326;
