UH SchoolArt

Situated in one the largest and most diverse cities in the nation, the School of Art at University of Houston prepares students for success in research, making, and scholarship. This incredibly rich environment, combined with our commitment to provide a complete and comprehensive education, leads our graduates to extraordinary careers.

At the School of Art, we celebrate the centrality of art and design in culture, and recognize its importance to the vitality of a civil society.  We train artists, designers and art historians who will delight, surprise, inform, engage, and move us towards a better understanding of each other and our extended communities.  We do this by making a commitment to connect the creativity of art to the practice of citizenship—equipment for living that values diverse human expression, ethics, and social engagement.
