The College of Communication and Fine Arts (CCFA) is a hub of excellence and innovation. We engage in research, education, and practice in the fine and performing arts, the field of architecture and the communication disciplines. We strive to prepare our students for their professional careers.

CCFA is a place where creativity and individuality are encouraged and respected; it is a place where students are part of a diverse and vibrant learning community; a place where students achieve their dreams of becoming creative professionals.

The College is home to the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music, the Departments of Architecture, Art, Communication, Journalism, and Theatre and Dance.
Also part of our academic community are the Art Museum of the University of Memphis (AMUM), Jones Hall Gallery, the Institute of Egyptian Art and Archaeology, the Centers for Multimedia Arts, the Study of Rhetoric and Applied Communication, and Sustainable Design, as well as The Daily Helmsman and WUMR-U92 FM.

CCFA enriches the cultural atmosphere of both the University and community at large through a variety of public programs, including art exhibitions, media presentations, music and dance concerts, theatre performances, lectures, seminars and festivals.

At the College of Communication and Fine Arts, our work is based upon the principle that creativity emerges from drawing together different perspectives and knowledge within an interdisciplinary framework.
