The Continuing Studies Division at the University of the Arts offers life long learning opportunities through arts education. The division houses Continuing Education courses for adults, Pre-College Programs for high school students, and the Professional Institute for Educators.
Continuing Education offers classes and workshops for Continuing Education credit and noncredit to the adult audience, as well as PA Act 48 activity hours. Offerings are available in a wide range of disciplines including: fine arts, crafts, digital technologies, music and recording industry, creative writing, photography, animation, dance and physical conditioning, interior design, illustration, writing for film and television, and professional development. Continuing Education also offers specialized certificate programs, as well as customized training solutions for corporate clients and organizations. Classes are generally held in the evenings and on weekends.
Pre-College Programs runs the Pre-College Saturday School and Pre-College Summer Institute for high school students. The Saturday School offers classes in crafts, design, fine arts, media and writing to high school students in grades 9-12 in the fall and spring semesters. The Summer Institute provides rising high school juniors and seniors with two- and four- week intensive programs in the visual and performing arts, and media and communication. Housing is optional in the summer, and students may apply for talent/merit and need-based scholarships for both programs.
Founded in 1973, the Professional Institute for Educators (The Institute) serves the needs of teachers, providing non-matriculated graduate-level courses for professional development, including PA Act 48 requirements. The Institute’s offerings cover such subject areas as: crafts, music, visual arts, writing, digital media, art history, multicultural studies, teaching strategies, classroom management and computer technology. With off-site locations, including the James A. Michener Art Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Wayne Art Center, courses are designed to utilize museum resources and exhibitions as an enriching opportunity for learning. Each semester, The Institute hosts Continuing Inspiration - a program of intensive week-long studio experiences providing creative renewal for teachers.
Brochures are available for all of the Division’s program offerings; refer to these for specific listings and registration procedures. Please note that the degree programs at the University have specific course and curriculum requirements. A total of six credits may be applied toward University degree programs. Persons seeking admission to a degree program at UArts or elsewhere should contact the appropriate office to determine which credits, if any, may be accepted.
