Ohio University’s College of Fine Arts is a vibrant community of artists, arts educators, actors, designers, dancers, musicians, playwrights, and scholars where you’ll find everything you need to develop your skills and expand your talents.

Learn from acclaimed artists who teach because they get inspiration from sharing their ideas and techniques with talented students. Many of our faculty have performed and designed on the world’s greatest stages, exhibited at prestigious museums and galleries, published creative and scholarly research and served as leaders with international arts organizations.

With hundreds of performances, productions, lectures and exhibitions throughout the year, the College offers many venues for our students to share their talents with the community. And visiting artists, scholars and filmmakers, along with theater, dance and music professionals share their insights and talents with our students.

All of the College’s academic programs—Art, Dance, Film, Interdisciplinary Arts, Music and Theater—provide you with a strong foundation in arts and culture and offer opportunities for specialized professional training. Personalized attention is a way of life.

The College also offers an exclusive program that allows students to live in a dynamic on-campus residential community with other fine arts students.

Tucked into the rolling hills of scenic southeastern Ohio, the University has earned a reputation for its rich educational tradition and outstanding academic programs. The idyllic beauty of the region is enhanced by the deep and varied tradition of arts, creating an exciting and culturally rich community. It’s no wonder that Athens was recently named one of the best small art towns in America.

If you’re looking for a unique, vibrant, and innovative environment to explore and refine your craft, the College of Fine Arts is for you.

Come see for yourself and experience the arts!
