About Colorado State University:

Welcome to Colorado State University School of the Arts.

…Discover our commitment to excellence. True excellence requires discipline of spirit and body in which we discover new horizons to push our work as artists, teachers, and researchers. I hope you are as stirred by our art as we are by creating it! During the spring months we will watch with anticipation as renovations continue on the University Center for the Arts. Our faculty and staff begin the process of moving in and preparing to welcome music, dance and theatre students to the new state-of-the-art building, on schedule to open in the Fall of 2008. Complete with the largest rehearsal room in the state, a dedicated dance performance theatre, a music recital hall and most important, classrooms designed for the purpose of teaching the arts…
