Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts

Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts (VCUarts) is a public, non-profit art and design institution situated in Richmond, Virginia, with two campuses. VCUarts is one of the thirteen colleges that offer the VCU degree. The School of the Arts provides eighteen bachelor's degrees and six master's programs. VCUarts upholds the college's mission to create success and change through inquiry, diverse perspectives, and the expertise and creativity of our students. We at VCUarts feel strongly that our position on campus encourages a deeper, more engaged learning experience. The departments and programs of the School of the Arts push the boundaries of art and design in search of new discoveries and creativity; they also foster collaboration, encourage creativity, support cutting-edge research, and promote interdisciplinary connections. The School of the Arts also values the trust and camaraderie we have within our departments and among our colleagues. Creativity requires thinking differently and finding solutions to the most difficult challenges faced by students, faculty, and staff.
