Merger
On April 30, 2009, the Arizona Board of Regents approved the merger of the College of Design and the Herberger College of the Arts into the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts.
Comprised of a dynamic combination of disciplines, the ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts is at the forefront of the investigation of creativity and creative practice shaping the 21st century. Many of the institute's programs consistently rank in the top ten of national peers and encompass over 45 areas of study within its seven schools: architecture and landscape architecture; art; arts, media and engineering; dance; design innovation; music; and theatre and film. The ASU Art Museum, the Herberger Institute Research Center, and Future Arts Research @ ASU support our research initiatives. The Community School for Design and the Arts and our Community Engagement projects enable students and faculty to interact with the public through meaningful partnerships. Our students benefit from enriching opportunities for exploration and discovery designed to provide them with the necessary tools to become creative leaders within their chosen professions.
