Thank you for your interest in the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University. I am sure that you will find that our curriculum offers the challenging training you are looking for in an education in the arts. If you are looking for a college committed to the importance of the arts, I invite you to visit WVU and check us out. West Virginia University is a major land-grant university with more than 30,000 students, 179 degree programs, and a proud tradition of academic excellence. The College of Creative Arts offers you the best of both worlds, though as our population of more than 100 faculty members and nearly 800 students is small enough to give you one-on-one instruction and a close community of friends in your area of study.
