Our faculty are leaders in their fields. They are New York Times best-selling authors, internationally celebrated musicians, and artists exhibiting their work at the Guggenheim, the Getty, and the Smithsonian. They are also in the classroom offering critiques, teaching students how to find their voices, and inspiring them to find new ways to create. By studying the arts at Berkeley, our students experience the integration of theory and practice, creative expression and scholarly inquiry. And with enrollment in our arts departments at an all-time high, faculty recruitment and retention is a priority.
