Interested in people, ideas, creativity, business, communication, or service? The Arts Track is a starting point for exploring these fields and preparing for an undergraduate path at MEU.
What is the Arts Track?
The Arts Track is one of the two pathways within MEU’s Freshman Program. It gives eligible students a preparatory academic year before moving into a bachelor’s degree pathway, once the relevant academic and equivalency requirements are met.
It is designed for students who hope to study areas such as business, education, language, design, religion, or theology. You can start exploring what feels right for you while getting to know university life at MEU.
