A Message from the Dean:
The College of the Arts is a destination of choice for students seeking the highest quality training in the visual and performing arts. We take great pride in our role as a college of regional focus with national impact: locally, the College serves as an academic and cultural resource for the community; nationally, our alumni contribute to the thriving creative economy as artists, educators, performers, and professionals.

We are leaders in arts education, marked by our continuous national accreditation in all four areas - Dance, Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts.

It is our mission, and the mission of our entire College of the Arts, to provide an environment that encourages individual achievement and artistic expression.
