Graduate Student Orientation

As we welcome graduate students to the University of the Arts for study this fall, we are offering the following orientation programming for new graduate students. By convening all new graduate students and faculty, we hope to showcase the vitality of the graduate education at UArts while inspiring you to strengthen existing connections and make new ones with your peers.

Programming will consist of both virtual and on-campus events.

New incoming graduate students will be emailed a link to a Canvas classroom that contains all pertinent information and links to meeting rooms on the first day of Orientation, Monday, Aug. 21, 2023.
