Dean's Welcome
Welcome to the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Kutztown University! We are committed to preparing creative students for the diverse global environment. Dedicated faculty challenge students to strive for excellence and develop their individual voice. Graduates are skilled practitioners who blend critical thinking skills with historical perspectives to make an impact in their chosen vocation.
The Sharadin Art Building provides world-class studio and teaching spaces for the visual arts. Currently under renovation, Schaeffer Hall will feature state-of-the-art facilities for the performing arts, starting in 2013.
Visual Arts programs are fully accredited by NASAD, the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. Music programs are fully accredited by NASM, the National Association of Schools of Music.
We invite you to explore this site and learn why KU is the right place to develop your artistic, creative, and expressive passions.
