The College of the Arts presents a variety of college-wide programs each year, most notably the Thomas Schroth Visiting Artist Series and the Art Without Limits conference.

Since the inception of Blossom Music Center in 1968, the Musical Arts Association has partnered with С»ÆƬÊÓƵ and its College of the Arts to develop Blossom as a complete environment for the arts. Each summer, Kent Blossom combines performance with education and joins working professionals with talented students to teach, explore and produce great art.
