About University of the Arts
For more than 145 years, we’ve been developing innovative creative leaders – because we see you differently.
It’s true that our top-level faculty provides a rigorous arts, design or writing education; but to be honest, so do most art schools.
UArts is much more: we’re the only arts school in America that makes it possible to work and collaborate across traditional boundaries. More than 20 minors are open to all students, so animators can study guitar, dancers can minor in photography, creative writers can take classes in illustration.
We are more because you are more.
