Arts
We approach the University as a vibrant arts interface, where our campuses meet the city, the country, and the world.
In dialogue with the creative industries and communities of Los Angeles and our global University partners, our vision of the arts is boundary defying: hybrid, interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial, and technologically innovative. We embrace collaboration and leave silos in the rearview mirror.
Our goal is to inspire all students, no matter the field, to engage with the arts as a way of being and thinking.
