The School of the Arts of the College of Charleston plays a distinctive role in the lives and education of the students of the College and in the Charleston community by developing artists, art scholars, and art leaders within a Liberal Arts setting. The education in the arts that we provide stimulates creativity and critical thinking skills, activates the whole learning process, and motivates life-long love of the arts for all students. Within a city known for its cultural heritage, this superior education in the arts marks the School as a national flagship undergraduate arts program.
