Student Life

Preparing Professional Artists
Vibrant city. Fully equipped studios. Captivating shows. Empty canvasses. Packed houses. Life at the University of the Arts prepares you for life as a practicing artist or creative thinker.

Whether you’re painting sets for a friend’s play, auditioning bands for a set at World Cafe Live, jogging on the Ben Franklin Parkway with the Running Club, or designing murals for your apartment, you’re at the center of  a vibrant creative community.

The University of the Arts also strives to provide you with essential life skills, and that includes financial literacy. You can find more information about how to make informed financial decisions throughout your college years and into your professional life at CashCourse.org.
