College of Fine Arts

The College of Fine Arts exists in the context of a dynamic, contemporary, urban, research university setting, characterized by its cultural diversity. The College provides opportunities for students to develop their interests and talents to the fullest whether they wish to pursue a creative or performing career, a teaching career, or life-long artistic enrichment.

Mission

The College's mission is to provide a broad and thorough education dedicated to

1. preparing students in and for the arts in contemporary society. Through a full range of educational experiences, students are prepared to create, perform, present, teach and understand through the arts;
2. creating new works of art and conducting research in the arts, particularly from a contemporary perspective. Through research and practice, faculty and students critically investigate and sustain the ideas, traditions, and practices in which the present is grounded;
3. serving the public. Through arts events, engagement activities, and consultations, the Tampa Bay area is afforded unusual opportunities to experience and grow because of the College’s unique ability to explore the contemporary arts.

The College of Fine Arts is a unique entity housing the School of Music and the departments of Art, Dance, and Theatre. The Contemporary Art Museum and the Center for Research in Art/Graphicstudio serve multiple academic purposes within the College of Fine Arts as well as enrich the cultural environment within the university community. More information about each program is available on the College website at http://www.arts.usf.edu/.
