The transformative power of the arts creates a more just and equitable world. 

As part of the nation’s #1 public university, the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture (UCLA Arts) encompasses four degree-granting academic departments, one schoolwide minor, two museums, and one performing arts center: Architecture and Urban Design (AUD), Art, Design Media Arts (DMA), and World Arts and Cultures/Dance (WAC/D); the Visual and Performing Arts Education Program (VAPAE); the Fowler and Hammer Museums; and UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA). 

Together, our academic and public programs create a vibrant cultural ecosystem that enriches the student experience while connecting the campus with local and global communities.
