Appreciate the Arts

With its vibrant art galleries, sold-out theater productions, and a marching band that is among the fastest growing in the country, the University of New Haven is a lively center for the arts. The campus is also ideally located to enjoy the city of New Haven’s rich history as a cultural center.

A cultural hub

The arts are an important part of a University of New Haven education. Why? Because research shows that students exposed to the arts have higher GPAs. Explore the many opportunities to experience the arts on campus or in the surrounding community.
