I’m proud to welcome you to the School of Fine Arts at the University of Minnesota Duluth!

I encourage you to explore our academic programs in Art & Design, Music, and Theatre. We strive for excellence in teaching and learning, in the study and production of theatre and music performance, in the study and creation of visual art, and in the generation of engagement with our surrounding community.

Discover our professional units as well! The Tweed Museum of Art, the Glensheen Historic Estate, and the Fine Arts Academy offer unique learning environments, quality entertainment options, and diverse services to the surrounding community.

The School of Fine Arts is a collection of gifted artists, faculty, and staff who are passionate about their disciplines and about creating the finest undergraduate and graduate experience possible. In every discipline, students work closely with faculty. The school offers a range of degrees, including broad Bachelor of Arts or Music degrees and more concentrated, focused degrees such as the Bachelor of Fine Arts, Master of Music, and Master of Fine Arts.

After exploring these websites, come and visit us. The University of Minnesota Duluth is located in a beautiful place. With a stunning view of Lake Superior, the greatest lake in the world, the campus is a vital part of the Duluth community and the region known as the Northland.
