The College of Fine Arts preserves the highest and best of our cultural heritage even as it pushes against traditional bounds to explore and invent new forms of entertainment and cultural expression.

The college offers a vast range of programs from doctorates in Art History or Music Theory to liberal arts degrees, certificate programs for working professionals and even summer camps for pre-college students.

The college also includes Texas Performing Arts, a national leader in eclectic, international arts presenting, and Landmarks, the public art program of the University of Texas. Both serve as learning laboratories for the students of the College of Fine Arts.
