Background

Scope and content:

Biographical / historical:

In 1939 UCLA established the College of Applied Arts which included two curricula leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree, the Department of Art and the Department of Music.

In 1960 the College of Fine Arts was established replacing the College of Applied Arts. Course listings under the College of Fine Arts first appeared in the 1961/1962 UCLA General Catalog and included the departments of: Art, Music, and Theater Arts. The Department of Dance as added to the College of Fine Arts in 1962.

As of the 1990 Fall academic quarter, the College of Fine Arts was restructured to form two schools: the School of the Arts and the School of Theater, Film, and Television. This configuration continued until the 1995/1996 academic year when the Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Design joined the School of the Arts to form the School of the Arts and Architecture.
