Current and Prospective Students
As UCI’s creative laboratory, the Claire Trevor School of the Arts (CTSA) explores and presents the arts as the essence of human experience and expression, through art forms ranging from the most traditional to the radically new. Our students come to UCI, and to CTSA, to experience new vistas of creativity, and to learn to become citizen-artists, to sharpen their skills and talents in order to become active molders and shapers of the creative enterprise, the leaders of tomorrow’s world culture.
