The Division of the Arts offers technical training and historical,
theoretical, and critical studies in art, art history (visual culture),
dance, drama (acting, directing, and playwriting), design and technology,
film and digital media, and music to all UCSC undergraduates, as well
as to those undergraduate and graduate students majoring in the arts.
The mission of the arts in education derives from their special contributions
to human experience and achievement. The arts involve unique ways
of knowing, understanding, feeling, communicating, and creating. In
education, and at this university, the arts complement humanistic
and scientific thought, and students and faculty in the arts are frequently
involved in collaborations with colleagues in humanities and science
disciplines.
The Division of the Arts provides students with access to excellent
state-of-the-art facilities, including recently constructed and
equipped music recital halls and practice rooms, an electronic music
studio, several theaters, drama and dance studios, painting and
printmaking studios, a foundry, film and video editing rooms, a
photography laboratory, multimedia computing laboratories, and specialized
lecture and seminar classrooms.
Among the division's many performing and fine arts programs, Shakespeare
Santa Cruz, an internationally recognized professional repertory
company, exemplifies our goal of combining scholarship with the
performance and practice of the arts.
The departments and majors in the Division of the Arts are listed
in detail under Art, Film and Digital Media, History of Art and
Visual Culture, Music, and Theater Arts.
The program explores the theory, history, and practice of digital
and electronic art media, with an emphasis on collaborative work
in project teams. The curriculum is interdisciplinary involving
faculty from the Art, History of Art and Visual Culture, Film and
Digital Media, Music, and Theater
Arts Departments as well as from the Baskin School of Engineering,
