The College of Fine Arts is the heart of performing and arts at UTRGV. It is home to the School of Art, School of Music, and Dance, Theatre, and Creative Writing departments, where we prepare our students for productive careers and life in the arts.
The UTRGV College of Fine Arts provides access to cultural events for the entire community through student plays, concerts, art exhibits, and other special events. The hours of practice and dedication it takes to accomplish such performative experiences enable students to develop their craft while pursuing an enriched higher education.
