Summary:

The University of the Arts is the nation's first and only university dedicated exclusively to education and training in the visual, design, performing, and media arts. Its history reflects Philadelphia's rich heritage of artistic innovation and accomplishment as well as its important historical position in American industry and manufacturing. Since the 1870s, the university has been a dynamic force in Philadelphia's vibrant artistic communities.
