The University of the Arts has evolved from two century-old institutons: the Philadelphia College of Art and the Philadelphia College of Performing Arts.
The Philadelphia College of Art (PCA) was formed in 1 876 along with the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Initially known as the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art, the institutions were established in response to the interest in art and art education that was stimulated by the country's Centennial Exposition. In 194^ the school became known as the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, reflecting the expanded programs that trained artists in many other areas, including fine arts. The school received accreditation in 1959, and in 1964 separated from the Museum to become the Philadelphia College of Art. Today, the Philadelphia College of Art and Design of The University of the
Arts offers curricula in crafts, design, fine arts, and art education.
The performing arts programs of The University of the Arts date to 1 870 when three graduates of the
Conservatory of Leipzig opened one of the first
European style conservatories of music in America: the Philadelphia Musical Academy. The Musical Academy became an independent college of music in 1 950, granting a Bachelor of Music degree after a four-year course of study—one of only eight such music colleges in the nation at the time. While still offering only a music program, the school changed its name to the Philadelphia College of Performing
Arts (PCPA) in 1976, the first such college in Pennsylvania. One year later the former Philadel- phia Dance Academy became part of PCPA and in
1 983 the School of Theater was created, thus achieving the college's ideal program of studies: dance, music and theater.
In 1 985, PCA and PCPA joined to become the Philadelphia Colleges of the Arts, and a true visual and performing arfs university was in its formative stages. With its inauguration in 1987, The Univer- sity of the Arts is the largest comprehensive educational institution of its kind in the nation, preparing students for more than 150 professional career paths in the visual and performing arts and related fields.
