Mission:

Comprised of a dynamic combination of disciplines, the ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts is at the forefront of the investigation of creativity and creative practice shaping the 21st century. Many of the institute's programs consistently rank in the top ten of national peers and encompass more than 45 areas of study within its six schools: art; arts, media and engineering; dance; design; music; and theatre and film. The ASU Art supports our research initiatives and the Herberger Institute Community Programs enable students and faculty to interact with the public through meaningful partnerships. Our students benefit from enriching opportunities for exploration and discovery designed to provide them with the necessary tools to become creative leaders within their chosen professions.
