At the UK College of Fine Arts, you can be you. Refine and discover your talent. Develop skills that will propel you toward a successful career in whatever you choose. Change the world. Don’t fit in, stand out.

We have more than 31 degree programs, a low faculty/student ratio, and national accreditation. We offer opportunities for research, education abroad, performances and exhibitions. UK CFA encourages individual expression. It offers personal connections with peers and faculty. It fosters your skills and arms you with the tools to make your mark as a creative leader.

This is where you belong.

With 1,000 students on a campus of 30,000, we’re the best of both worlds: the resources of a large university with the intimacy of a small college. We have a low faculty/student ratio, making mentorships a pivotal part of the learning experience. Here, your faculty are committed to helping you reach your potential.

Now more than ever the world needs creative thinkers and practitioners who can reinvent the rules. At the University of Kentucky College of Fine Arts, you will dive into the exploration of creativity, problem solving, theory, analysis, and discovery.
