Is your passion to create? To perform? To teach? To act or direct? To design? If so, you are just a few links away from the beginning of an exciting career or the continuation of study as a graduate student in the arts.

I invite you to visit the websites of our schools for a closer look at the academic program that most closely meets your interests and career goals. What you will find are programs which are designed to provide a first class education, develop your talents, and equip you to compete successfully in the real world arts marketplace for performing, teaching, or creating original art. In short… prepare you to join hundreds of our graduates, virtually all of whom have gone on to successful careers and are doing what it is that they wanted to do in their fields.

What makes our programs models of excellence? Caring, dedicated faculty that are successful artists in their own right and are excellent teachers. Academic programs that have been nationally accredited for many years. Excellent facilities that are constantly upgraded with the latest technology. And, students who are passionate about their discipline.

Find out more by visiting the School of Art, School of Music, or School of Theatre. And, come to a performance or show listed on our Calendar of Events in order to see for yourself what we’re about at SFA.
