MISSED ALL THE FUN, BUT STILL WANT TO MAKE AN IMPACT?

Arts & Humanities

The School of Arts and Humanities at UT Dallas offers students the opportunity to enhance their lives through the development of interpretation, imagination and communication necessary for success in the globally interconnected and change-intensive 21st century. A&H students can study literature, history and philosophy or focus on the visual and performing arts, concentrating in dance, music, theater, visual arts, art history, film or communication.

A number of UT Dallas students who major in more technical fields choose to enhance their lives by minoring in one of the School’s creative or thoughtful areas of study. Your gift to the School of Arts and Humanities offers students support through scholarship, faculty support, or by strengthening academic programs.
