Prospective Graduate Students
The New American University is defined by the forces of creativity and innovation – bold progress advanced through the medium of human expression. As we prepare to navigate the future with confidence and vision, the arts and design play an integral role. Students of these disciplines are driven by their commitment to excellence – whether their hours are spent in the practice room or at the drafting table. Our highest mission is to prepare students with critical skills for a broad range of careers, and position them to address important global challenges.
At ASU's Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, you will have the opportunity to make a genuine impact on society with your imagination and creativity. Whether you practice music, architecture, dance, theatre, design, visual art or film, creative excellence requires both a mastery of your discipline and the development of your own creative expression. At the Herberger Institute, excellence and innovation unite and thrive within seven schools, each devoted to its own creative discipline: Architecture and Landscape Architecture; Art; Arts, Media and Engineering; Dance; Design Innovation; Music; and Theatre and Film.
