 Mission
and Objectives. The
College of Arts + Architecture
consists of four departments and one school, which share
basic educational values and academic aspirations. The
primary mission of the college is to provide programs that
prepare graduates for careers as architects, artists,
leaders, cultural administrators, and innovators in our
emerging creative economy. The college draws together in a
single academic unit disciplines with common histories,
methods of inquiry, and potential for contributions to the
community. It serves to enhance creative, professional, and
cultural production within the University of North Carolina
at Charlotte and to help lead the creative economy in the
region and state. The college is responsive to both
cross-cultural exchange and “crossover” research and
programming and seeks to provide new connections to the
public realm and new opportunities for community leadership.
The arts and architecture have a long history of
collaboration; they require analysis and interpretation of
information and media; and they demand imagination regarding
the realms of communication, technology, economic change,
and diversity.
Organization. The College of Arts + Architecture
includes the
School of Architecture and
the Departments of
Art and Art History,
Dance,
Music,
and Theatre.

master’s and baccalaureate level including: Master of
Architecture; Master of Urban Design; Bachelor of Arts
degrees in Architecture, Art, Dance, Music, and Theatre;
