The College of the Arts aims to cultivate a vibrant, modern educational atmosphere that respects heritage, celebrates inclusivity, fuels creativity, and pursues outstanding achievement. Our distinguished faculty—comprising artists, instructors, and researchers—dedicates itself to pushing students intellectually, artistically, and vocationally while helping them develop their unique creative identities. Through concerts, exhibitions, film screenings, live performances, publications, and digital media, the College delivers top-tier artistic expression, instruction, and academic research to our community. Due to high demand, applications for Art degree programs often surpass available spots. Consequently, the California State University has granted the institution permission to implement additional selection criteria. Enrollment is merit-based, with equal consideration given to current CSULB students and transfer applicants.
